CoPIRG: Funding of new group co·ntroversial dents have a right to organize and voice an opinion.

Sinel said she also objects to the funding because, "the individual student does not have any say where the money goes."

Meyer said this is not true.

"Students have a lot more control with this than with other fees," he said.

"The students have a choice. They don't have to pay at all."

In addition, Meyer said, every student has the opportunity to vote every other year and any student may run for a CoPIRG office.

Sinel further accused CoPIRG of using "subversive methods" to elicit student support.

She said the group, which petitioned twice as many signatures as necessary, did not accurately portray itself to the students when petitioning and did not explai.>1 the waivable fee.

"It was very, very misleading, she said. "Joe student would take a look and say, 'Every group has a right to be established,' and sign it.

"If I didn't know anything about the group, I would have said, 'It sounds terrific.' " Jodie Gibson, a member of the MSC CoPIRG organizing committee who collected signatures, denied Sinel's claims.

"We did mention the fee," Gibson said. "No one signed the petition with.o ut me explaining everything to them."

Meyer said the waivable fee was mentioned more than once in the petition which all signers were free to read.

"It's in our best interest to let people know about the fee because it's going to be on the ballot," he said.

Another "subversive method," Sinel said is the way CoPIRG will collect the waivable fee if students vote in favor of the group's establishment in the April 30 through May 2 election.

A "negative check-off" will be included on class-registration forms.

Gramm-Rudman takes toll

College to lose $1 million Nancy Jarrell Reporter

Metropolitan State College will lose approximately $1 million in federal funds during fiscal year 1987-88 if the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act is implemented, according to a study just completed by David McDermott, MSC controller in charge of contracts and grants.

Minority and low-income students

Jim Manuel Reporter

Metropolitan State College's most common nickname - Metro - may sound like a cross between a sewer system and a French subway, but, to cast-off 19 years of name recognition is foolish, John Spradley, MSC professor of English said.

"It has taken 19 years to establish some name recognition with the public.

There are still some who are confused, but it's not the name's fault. A name

would be the biggest losers, he said.

Though the full force of the bill wouldn't be felt in 1986-87, the fundcuttinsi; act would affect Pell ~ants.

McDermott said. He predicted MSC will suffer a 10.3 percent loss in Pellgrant monies or as much as $165,000.

In 1987-88, the cuts will rise 25 to 30 percent. If the act is implemented, MSC would lose approximately $1,165 continued on page 2

The establishment of a student organization that would · add $3 to MSC tuition has become the target of a student government member who calls it "wholly repugnant to the dignity of this institution."

Maria Sinel, a judicial board member of the associated students of MSC, stated in a letter to members of the senate that CoPIRG (Colorado Public Interest Research Group) should be barred from campus because of unfair funding practices, misleading methods of obtaining student support and a faulty campus organization staff.

If enacted, CoPIRG, a non-profit, non-partisan, state-wide organization which sponsors projects to benefit students and consumers, would raise tuition $3 though the fee could be waived if students indicate on their class registration form that they do not support the group.

Sinel said CoPIRG is not entitled to this type of funding.

"I don't think any pqlitical group has any right comandeering student funds," she said. "This is a blatant attempt to jockey Metro State College in the position of being their personal collection agency.

"In no way, shape or form should a business use a campus to collect money."

John Meyer, CoPIRG chapter organizer, admitted that CoPIRG is political in nature, but stressed that it does not affiliate with any political party.

"All kinds of programs are funded through fees: student government, the newspaper, the gay and lesbian alliance. To extent or another, all those groups are political.

"If we were Democratic orRepublican, no way should we get on campus or get this kind of funding," Meyer said.

Meyer said CoPIRG's ideology is not political. It is merely that the.stu-

with Metro having a national reputa· tion like Michigan State or Cornell.

"Metro is not designed to be a national institution. Its purpose is to serve the metro area, financially, geographically and academically. A national reputation is not our goal."

Gramm-Rudman/trom page 1 during the next two school years, the study said.

"Further dramatic cuts will have to occur in 1988 through 1991 in order to meet the target deficit levels prescribed

by Gramm-Rudman," McDermott said.

The Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act was proposed as a means of controlling and reducing the federal budget by calling for gradually increasing across-the-board cuts in federal programs over the next three years.

However, many federal programs such as social security and most of the defense budget are exempt from the cuts. Because of the exempted programs, a little over 20 percent of the

federal programs are being asked to carry the losses. McDermott said most of the federally funded education programs are subject to the cuts.

Exactly which and how much of those programs would be cut isn't known, McDermott said. The Department of Education has discretion in how it wants to meet the target cuts and it could go in several different directions, he said.

"The federal agency may decide to eliminate some programs entirely or cut back all programs l;>y 30 percent or some combination of those."

However, McDermott said in the study in FY 1987-88 MSC could expect to lose approximately $800,000 out of a 'pre-cut budget of just over $2.5 million in financial aid and approximately $265,000 out of $883,000 in training grants and contracts.

The financial aid programs in question are the National Direct Student Loans, the federally funded segment of the work-study program and the Pell, Supplemental Educational Opportunity and State Student Incentive Grants (non-repayable finanicial aid grants).

Although the act would eliminate about 30 percen_t of federal grant monies, education loans would still be available, said Cheryl Judson, MSC director for financial aid.

"I think the Guaranteed Student Loan program is going to really grow," Judson said. "That's where the students are going to make up the difference in their funds."

However, the loss of grant money will make the decision to go to college much harder for some, Judson said.

For instance, single parents who are already struggling financially would have a harder time justifying the decision to go to college.

Training grants also would be in line for reductions, McDermott said.

"The Bilingual Education Program, High School and Veteran's Upward Bound and Special Services, many programs which are aimed at lowincome students would be cut," he said.

"For example, the High School Upward Bound is a program targeted at low-income students upgrading their academic levels to college levels, and it's been quite successful," McDermott said.

McDermott said the cuts would definitely affect who would have access to a higher education.

The study said implementation of the act would represent the reversal of a 30-year federal philosophy that no student of ability will be denied an opportunity for higher education because of financial need.

"I think the federal government has a very critical role in fulfilling the dream that started in the sixties, which says essentially every student that has ability should be able to attend higher education," McDermott said.

'Td very much not like to see our country get back to the way it was back in the mid-fifties and sixties when only the rich could afford to go to school."

"If, as you are suggesting, that the Supreme Court is controlled by one government or successive governments, then why would there be so many cases where the court has decided against the federal government? It doesn't make much sense does it.''

In his summation, David Keane urged the audience to reject government control because it could be swayed by the views of one specific political party.

"Say we go to the White House and ask Mr. Reagan to legislate control of media coverage of terrorism. Then he says, 'Well, give me a couple of weeks and I will see what I can do.' He then slips back into the oval office and thinks to himself, 'Well, in this legisla?o~ I c~ define exactly what a terrorist IS • • • .

" 'Aha! a democrat! Then he can decide on what control. Say you can report on the next democratic attempt for president, but only from Ireland, or 1000 miles away from the nearest candidate. Or simply blanket censorship, and say you may not report on the next democratic attempt to win the election.

"Then in that case you have a situation, where terrorism cannot be arbitrated on a legal basis - only a political one. They are telling us, since terrorism is bad, this blanket situation is the answer to our problems. Then you have a choice. You can vote for the Republican or go to America's version of Siberia, Cleveland, and remain there for the rest of your life.''

In the debate's final speech, Daniella Lopez reiterated the affirmative team's case.

"Mandated restraint has to be implemented. It has been apparent, if not blatantly obvious, that the free press has failed to exercise self-restraint in the reporting of terrorist attacks," Lopez said.

"The media must be responsible.

But they have not been responsible.

For it is obvious that the unrestrained zeal of our media to be first on the scene, to be first to interview the hijackers, and to be the first to pull the big numbers in the ratings is not responsible.''

After the debate, Chris Dahle said: "I bope this will stimulate some enlightened discussion among you all.

This is a very touchy subject, and I hope you all think about this."

ON CAMPUS Name Change/trom page 1 students to cast a vote or make a suggestion for the school name.

"But," Breckel cautioned, "the alumni should have something to say about this too. Many of them are proud of the school. They don't want to feel like their diplomas are obsolete. Their feelings would have to be considered also."

Spradley said he has the same concern: "Who has the right to decide? Over 100,000 people have attended this school. It would have to be a fairly

valid canvass."

Breckel used the example of Colorado Womens College changing its name to Temple Buell.

"There was a great deal of confusion. After the alumni invested themselves and their money in the school, the name was changed. Many of them were very upset.

"There is also the public to consider," Breckel said. "There may be a lot of people who would be sensitive to a name change. They must be considered too. After all, it is tbe taxpayers who are footing the bill for the school."

The actual cost to the school of changing its name is difficult to figure, according to Tim Greene, MSC budget officer.

"No one has ever asked that question. It would take some concerted effort to arrive at a figure. There would be stationery to change, computer programs, ottice stamps, the school logo. Those are some things on the technical side. I'm sure there are other things that would cost some money too. I think it would be a pretty substantial sum."

Paul Magelli, MSC president, said he wants to put the question on the student referendum.

"I would like to hear from the students on this. I think they should have something to say.

"One person from a powerhouse corporation did tell me we have a real problem with our name. He said it didn't really serve us well. It's not geographic and doesn't say anything about the state. It raises a lot of questions.

"Most people have said it's not a real D knockout name."

CoPIRG/trom page 1 to waive the fee or they will be charged $3.

"When a student fills out a registration form, they think they're just signing up for class," Sinel said.

"How many of us scrutinize our registration forms for political funding check-offs? How many of us aren't even going to notice the fine print and, as a result, contribute to a group we may not even believe in?"

"A waivable fee, or negative checkoff, is hardly subversive in its method or intent," Paul Canny, leader of the MSC CoPIRG organizing committee,

said in a letter sent to the senate in March rebutting Sinel's accusfitions.

In fact, CoPIRG's funding is, without a doubt, the fairest method of funding on this campus, Canny said.

Sine! made a final attack on C oPIRG's administration. She said she objected to Meyer's presence on campus because he is not a student. She said that when she discussed CoPIRG with Canny she got the impression that he is not in control of the group.

"Canny indicated to me that he didn't know what the group was all

about or what it did. He also admitted that he was b eing guided by the hand by non-student CoPIRG infiltrators," Sinel said.

"John (Meyer) tells him what to do, step b y step ."

Meyer said his role in establishing CoPIRG at MSC is that of an advisor.

'Tm here to provide information, advice and help. That's my job," he said. "To imply anything subversive about that, I think is just a total distortion."

Gibson defended both Canny and Meyer.

"Paul (Canny) may not know all there is to know, but I think he knows the basics," she said. "John (Meyer) helps keep us up-to-date on things.

He's just there to be there for support if we need him."

With the ultimate decision left to the students, Sinel said "I will be doing what I can to inform whoever I can," to block passage of CoPIRG in the election.

Meyer said he believes the election will be successful for CoPIRG, but Sinel's opposition could have an impact.

"We'll respect the democratic process if we lose," Meyer said. "I hope she'll respect it if we win."

The notion being bounced around at Auraria - that Metropolitan State College should change its name to achieve greater recognition in the community - is, at best, disturbing. At worst, the idea is an outrage.

According to Allen Freeman, professor of geography at MSC, an overwhelming majority of Metro students favor the proposal to change the college's name .

"Metro is not a bad name in itself, but it doesn't connotate the quality of the institution," Freeman was quoted as saying. "Metropolitan State as a name is too localized. It's familiar only to regional residents and doesn't say where the school is located," he went on.

"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." ¡ What logic this is.

"It's familiar only to regional residents and doesn't say where the college is," Freeman said.

Does a college or university have to have a geographical name for it to be recognized as a fine institution?

Does the name "Duke" say where the university is located?

Does Brown? Does Harvard? Does Yale?

The answer is simple.

They don't.

But if Mr. Freeman's logic is applied to these institutions, they aren't any good.

Their names don't say where they are located.

But these institutions are good - for that matter excellent.

And they achieved that excellence not through flashy names but through ,years, even centuries, of hard work at doing what institutions of higher learning are supposed to do - turn out top-flight graduates.

True, Metropolitan State as a name is only locally known. But lefos remember that the college is only 23 years old. It is a veritable infant in the long-established world of higher education.

It has hardly been given the chance to "connotate" excellence throughout the country.

And changing the name now would mean retreating to the past and tossing a lot of what has been accomplished out the window - all in the hope that immediate recognition will be given to the college and its students.

Changing the name now would mean turning our backs on all who have come here, strived for excellence against adverse odds, and earned diplomas.

It would mean forgetting about all the disadvantaged kids from broken families who have bettered themselves at Metropolitan State and who have gone on to make an impact on the community.

And the students who have studied here before - and who are studying here

now - and those yet to come would be the real losers.

All those former pupils would own diplomas from a college that, technically at least, no longer exists.

And over 20 years of hard work would go down the drain in a heartbeat.

The Metropolitan . State College that is known and loved would be gone forever - even if none of the professors and none of the administrators left the institution. .

Even if nothing - not one single aspect of the college - changed with the name, it would still alter Metro for the worse.

Metro State as we know it would succumb, the victim of a misguided, halfbaked plan set in motion all in the name of making the college more identifiable.

As Freeman put it: "This is an opportunity for the students to make a change that will affect them the rest of their lives."

He couldn't be more right.

But unfortunately, the affect of such a change would be to undo the fabric that has been woven and set students back nearly 2.5 years.

It would be the kind of mistake that none of us would recover from soon.

As the old saying goes: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

And Metropolitan State College's name certainly ain't broke.

Can Anyone Seriously Believe Jeans Tes~ Homophobia Dear Editor, I had to chuckle at the letter, "Jeans Test Homophobia." Can anyone seriously believe that a body count of jeans wearers will reflect the prevailing attitudes toward gay rights-or, for that matter, toward any controversial issue? I was witness to a "jeans day" when I attended the Colorado School of Mines. The result was exquisitely predictable: those who normally wore jeans, wore jeans, and those who did not normally wear jeans, did not wear jeans. The students, whatever their attire, recognized this; as a result, there were no homophobic reactions to raise the conciousness of a jeans-clad non-gay. The only indication that the scheme had any effect at all were the half-facetious question, "do Levi's cords count?", and a letter to the Oredigger from a student who was not aware of the event and was angry after learning that he had supposedly made an all-ornothing political statement. (What he wore that day is not recorded.)

The differences between Metro and Mines are too obvious to belabor, but I

â&#x20AC;˘

... ~c

cannot believe that student behavioral patterns at the two schools are fundamentally different. A "jeans day" has another inherent weakness as well: some people (me, for example) do not even own a pair of blue jeans, while there are probably others who own nothing else.

In short, assuming that most people will wear their hearts on their sleeves as it were, is preposterous. Given that jeans are, as Tracy Pharis states, "the uniform of MSC students," a more accurate count might be had by exhorting supporters of gay rights to not wear jeans; but that count would also be woefully undependable.

OPINION

...

Magelli Communicates, Off Campus Editor: On April 4, President Magelli spoke to my Corporate Cultures class. During this informal talk, Dr. Magelli discussed his 14 months of Presidency. He spoke of his efforts to bring Metro into the awareness of our surrounding community, and of the outside influences (such as CCHE) whom Metro is molded by.

While this opportunity afforded me a better understanding of Dr. Magelli as Metro's leader, I do not, however, offer any apologies for my March 19 letter, as my points still stand valid.

One aspect of this talk stood out for me: Dr. Magelli emphasized his many contacts with the Denver community in his efforts to build Metro's image, but I heard very little regarding his contact with Metro's community. I heard very little about his communication to the students in an effort to let us know what is going on.

Perhaps my impression was wrong, but judging from the information drought we suffer here on campus, I think not. What communication we do receive seems incomplete, and I think that students learn more about Metro's direction through Denver's major newspapers - a frustrating and secondhand manner.

I still feel that Dr. Magelli needs to find out more about his departments.

Before he can go out in the community and say "here we are and this is what we have to offer," he needs to find out who we are and what we offer. The students and faculty, in tum, need to find out more of Dr. Magelli's expectations. How can he possibly represent our school to the public when the communication channels here are so poor?

Naturally, Dr. Magelli cannot go from class to class and discuss Metro's direction, but surely there is some way - in addition to the campus newspaper and student government - that Dr. Magelli and Metro can increase their interactions. While it is still important that the outside community remain aware

of Metro, I think Dr. Magelli needs to reduce his outside contacts, for the time being, and concentrate more energy on those of us who comprise Metro.

In his discussion with my class, Dr. Magelli also briefly addressed the act of change itself. He remarked that people do not like change, and as a result, actively avoid it. He is right, as the greater the push for change - the stronger their resistance will be. The most common form of resistance is to get rid of the source of that change.

We are obviously going through changes here at Metro, and the information we are getting regarding those changes is inadequate. Many students are seeing those changes as a threat, and we are seeing that lack of information as alienation.

In addition - like it or not - we are seeing Dr. Magelli as the source.

As for Robin Reid's April 4 quotation,, "Education is the ability to listen to . almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence," I gather Mr. Heid prefers that I placidly accept anything that anyone tells me - without question.

I prefer, on the other hand, to question people when I do not agree with the information they give me, as that too is educational.

I have indeed learned something, Mr. Heid. I learned that I was right to become angry - b ecausee that in turn finally got me more information than I have been receiving in the past. You mistakenly assumed that my anger was based entirely on out-of-context quotes, when in fact it was the last-straw result of a problem I have been observing for the past year.

I also learned, Mr. Heid, that however rashly you seem to feel I expressed myself, my observation and opinions were not incorrect.

Student Fees: Bare s ·ones v·s. Slick S·uits Editor: There was never any doubt in my mind that President Magelli considers all 86 programs offered at Metro as qualitative education on an equal level of understanding achievement. I think Mr. H~id and Dr. Norton were justified in setting that much of the record straight in the April 4th edition of Th-e Metropolitan. What I objected to is the linkage Dr. Norton made between two entirely separate issues. Putting the President's comments into p roper perspective is one thing, but chastising students for wanting to p reserve an inexpensive education is another.

Dr. Norton stated that, " . . . they (students) wanted a cheap education, a bare-bones experience." For all of those students who are living on poverty level incomes, perhaps the true "bare-bones experience" is out of Dr. Norton's immediate view. Many students are just barely able to scrape up $524.00 each semester, so that they can avoid the student loan burden after graduation on an entry-level position income. This freedom of choice is accommodating until certain faculty members become involved in boondoggling for incremental increases that benefit their departments.

In lieu of the fact that Dr. Norton is an athletic instructor who serves on the Student Affairs Board , it was of no surprise to me that she could vindicate her conscience from all conflicts of interest. It's common knowledge that the P.E.R. Department has been lobbying extensively for increases in athletic activities to a very receptive administration.

A noticeable distinction was candidly made in Dr. Norton's editorial when she referred to.a student colleague on the SAB as," . . . a female student. ... "Perhaps certain condescending faculty members b elieve that students should be seen and not heard to insure token representation.

Hopefully, students won't fall victim to distorted exaggerations like, "barebones experience," or the demagoguery which reduces Metro to," ... 30 odd courses strung together. . . ."There are a multitude of extracurricular activities

available to students, d espite the limited participation. If student's don't utilize existing activities, then where is the merit in further increases for student fees?

The answer can usually b e found on the business end of Metro politics.

The typical argument fro m Metro's ambitious reformists is based on the assumption that a student's lack of exposure to extracurricular involvement can hamper their future marketability in a competitive world. In principle this rationale has some validity, until students try to balance work, school and demanding extracurricular commitments on a daily basis. The opportunity cost can often be found when grades begin to drop. While most colleges and universities are fighting to get students academically acclimated in the wake of the sports obsession, a few Metro student politicians, administrators and faculty members want to promote extracurricular expansionism.

Metro's reformists are subscribing to the same ugly game of credentialism that started the push for image reform to begin with. Prior to the enrollment cap in 1985, the number of students attending Metro had been growing at a very healthy rate of increase. Maybe that increase could be attributed to a genuine preference for a state college atmosphere over a universities?

Our school has made great strides in improving its image for such a short existence. Private consultants aren't expected to agree with that statement, since they conveniently provide supporting evidence for the administrations' initial assertions. Dr. Magelli and Mr. Heid will be the firs t to say you got what you payed for. .

Elitist attitudes by state college critics is a prejudice that only time can cure, no matter how creatively our student fees are invested. Metro's only real problem is the failure to fight the enrollment cap directly, instead of trying to buy our way out from under it or overhauling the school from the name on down.

UCD Student Art Show Bob Haas MetroStyle Co-Editor

....

"Frightened Heart" by Kit Ito

Student art shows are satisfying.

They are interesting and thou.g ht provoking. The "talent in training" lends itself to a freshness of concept and a playful adventure with medium.

The Emmanuel Gallery's exhibit of the UCD Fine Arts Show is a satisfying display of student work. The show runs through April 17. ' Students take chances with subject; they push the limits of visual acceptance. They are less constricted by the "rules."

Frank Nuebel exhibits a gaping mouthed man and titles it "Man Eating a Milky Way." The man's mouth is filled with star parts of a solar system.

Overly cute? Perhaps, but it is colorful and, again, refreshingly playful.

William Harris has an acrylic of two men seated in front of a window looking out over the sea. It is a mqstly unremarkable piece, except that it is titled "While a Military Band Played in the Plaza." That title draws one back into the piece, forces re-examination of the visual concept involved.

Untitled by Cindy Applehans Janet L. Wisman has succeeded wonderfully with a minimal line wood carving. It is an untitled swan-like female profile flowing from neck into gently clasped hands. The piece is comfortably appealing.

The Emmanuel Gallery is a spacious clean feel. However, the lighting throws unfortunate reflection on the glass-

covered pieces, but also gives sunlight vibrancy to the interior experience.

One can sit comfortably in the loft, gaze through Wisman's gentle wood flowing unity and watch the wind sculpture through the window outside.

This perch is an Auraria gem, a valuable and calming "secret hiding place."

I was the secret ingredient.

Every brewery has one. Every writing team should.

The secret ingredient sets the product apart.

Our secret ingredient was sobriety.

I would get the beer tasting story by using the secret ingredient.

These poor fools.

I watch Colson load the film into his camera backwards.

I watch Darr use bis beer mug as an innovative camera filter.

I watch Davis test his flash batteries in a well drawn mug of George Killian's. He says he's a photographer tonight. I say he's an investigative journalist. He can't find the imported beer tables. Again.

These poor fools.

Carol Meyer welcomes us. She is the executive direc. tor of the Colorado Multiple Sclerosis Society. She hopes we intend to observe more than the beer tasting revellers. She hopes we do more than sample lots of beer.

"It's a fun event," she says. She beams and tells us about the cause. 路 M.S. attacks the central nervous system, primarily striking young adults. Neither the cause nor the cure is known. Colorado bas an incidence of the disease twice the national average. One in every 1000 adults between the ages 20 to 50 will be afflicted. In fact, the incidence is even higher worldwide along the 40th parallel. No one knows why. But many have come tonight to pop for the entrance fee and help find out.

It's a fun evening for a good cause.

The beer tasting is in full swing. There's a story here, sloshing about with the festivities. The newspaper crew is on the job, ever vigilant.

There's Colson, interviewing the men's room.

There's Darr, scarfing Little Kings Ale posters.

There's Davis, resignedly drinking a domestic, again.

David I. Colson King of Cincinnati

When I walked up to a beer tasting table I felt like a checker reaching the end of the board-"Crown me."

"C~?wn me," I'd say. "Let me try that ale you've got there.

And the brew poured. Just a taste, a sip, a few , , swallows from this Dutch table, then from this French table, on to Australia, back to Norway, Mexico and ,., Canada. The brew poured.

I wandered over to Cincinnati. "Crown me," I said.

"It isn't crown me; it's KING MEI" a man of many little bottles said.

"Okay, so KING MEI" and the brew poured.

To balance so many checkers on one head while jumping from square to square is not an easy game, but you managed to keep a silly face, after all it's your coronation, and I was king of Europe, Canada, Mexico a..:._;;;~....:.::...iiiiDz.ar""'r~::ia )'i and Cincinnati already, and still, the brew poured.

It poured until I was .. .I was crowned, crowned royal!

So I cleared the board, got home, and fell into a Robert Davis throne that was trying to swallow me. I could feel the "Photographer" weight of all those checkers on my head, pushing me "Why can't I just contribute to the center spread with down and down and just before the final gulp, I wondered why. Why do I play? outstanding photography?" I whined.

Then a proverb from an old brewing county came to The stem I'm-in-control face·glared back. mind. So as I checked out I remembered: 'Tm not sure what you're doing wrong with that "Drink? Die. camera of yours," Colson said. "But if you're going, you're Drink not? Die anyhow. writing."

D Therefore, drink."

Great.

I'm going to write about tasting beer.

"The collection of chilled, free beer was awesome."

Award winning copy. I can see it now: 'The winner of this year's Pulitzer Prize, Bob Davis, for his Beer Tasting Article.'

And you know I'd include Colson in my speech. 'fd like to thank my wife, my dog and the jerk that made me do it, David I. Colson. Thank You.' And my copy is so essential to the public's hunger for knowledge of the event. The fourth article on the same event is always the most critical to the reader's perception of how Beer Tasting fits into the world events - how it relates to terrorism and such.

Three articles will show you the event, but FOUR will put it in perspective.

Yeah. BEER TASTING. Who am I to complain? Have you ever tasted (about a half glass per taste) lOObeers in three hours? It's a bus or mooch a ride after that kind of fun.

Since I mooched from Colson, I guess I'd better write something or I'll get that look again.

Ralph Macchio proves that he can shift from a Karate Kid to a 17 ·year-old bluesman in "Crossroads" without losing any of his youthful charm and grace.

As Eugene, a rich guitarist from Long Island, NY, he dreams of discov- ._ ering and recording what he believes to be the lost song, as well as the last unfinished song, of the famous bluesman, Robert Johnson.

While attending Juliard, Eugene works as a janitor in a nursing home • .where he meets an old man who claims to be one of the greatest bluesmen to ever live, and to have been one of the last musicians to ever play with Johnson.

Obsessed with becoming a great bluesman, Eugene (Llghtning Boy) tries .~ to convince Willie (Blind Dog Fulton) to help him find the lost song.

But his request is met with constant refusals while Willie, with his own reasons for wanting to help Eugene, subtly attempts to discover how well he can manipulate the youth to assisting ·· · his cause.

Finally convinced Eugene is serious Willie lures him into a deal that takes them on an episodic soulful journey from New York to Mississippi-to the ..,. mythical crossroads.

During their trek through the South they cross paths with a 17-year-old runaway from Philadelphia, Francis (Jami Gertz), who is also seeking her dreams of becoming a dancer in Los Angeles.

Their traveling as vagabonds adds a unique touch to Eugene's lifestyle through various encounters of "southern hospitality."

But, because of the lengendary crossroads the South is displayed as a sprawling musical playground where every ..-.. great blues musician signed his contract to fame.

Nevertheless, it is the crossroads and 1' Willie's own contract signing over 60 years ago that haunts him until he is driven to return there.

Once they arrive at the crossroads, a ., challenge from Willie's old adversary pits Eugene against a heavy-metal ., guitarist and a gospel group in a talentfilled exhibit in exchange for Willie's release from his contract.

Macchio is witty, sassy, and has no trouble convincing his audience that ... he was born to be a bluesman, as well as displaying a natural knack for working with mentors.

And as Macchio's mentor, Joe Seneca gives an excellent portrayal of a z sharp-tongued crotchety old man.

Writer John Fusco has created more than an incidental resemblance between Stephen Benet's "Devil and Daniel Webster" and "Crossroads."

But director Walter Hill did a splendid job of casting, and if for no other reason, one should see "Crossroads" · ). for another good pose of Macchioism.

Equinox Eve And a Not So Near Little Boy (The Waitress, Too, is Pretty) Once a point in time and (pathetically) not nearly so long ago when then and while looking ahead to the smoke rising from a cigarette, forgotten in a package back pocket and so crumpled and (therefore) so limp and so like a boy sneaking behind the fence or in back of a garage, clutching the pages, pictures worn and often hidden of pretty women with no clothes.

Page 11

There are birds, too, in this new springtime and of course bee~ and all that and there is the petered expectancy of that little boy, finally crossing the threshold in the aftemoon to swill beer from a bottle.

It is the (cigarette) smoke which draws his attention, and like an impulsive slap upside too naughty a head from a father now angry now confused and now proud of this boy with these pictures that smoke startles the fancy, shakes the springtime from a not nearly so near little boy.

SPORTS MSC's Bread and Butter

'Small Town Boy' Strikes it Big With Roadrunners Brad Dunevltz Asst' Sports Editor

John Wilkinson did not play high school baseball.

Now,he is in the starting rotation on the Metro State College pitching staff.

What gives?

The public has heard its share of "Small town boy make big" stories, but this is a classic example.

Born in Grey Bull, Wyo., a town of about 1,500, Wilkinson and his family loaded up the luggage and headed north to Montana.

After brief stays in Glasgow and Billings, the Wilkinsons settled in Great Falls - about 75,000 - where John spent his childhood days knocking around baseball diamonds and mastering his curveball.

Encouraged by his father to play baseball, John participated in the Montana summer leagues until he was 15. After that, well, after that, John didn't plav bas~ball for a team.

"The whole state has no high school or college baseball because of the weather," Wilkinson said, whose

younger brother, Bill is a top prospect for the Seattle Mariners. "It's tough for anybody to get picked up. There's not a lot of people that go on after (American) Legion baseball."

But Wilkinson did. After graduating from Great Falls Hisi;h School in 1982, he went to Bismarck Junior College in North Dakota for one semester, then finished the year at Montana State University. The 5' 10'', 170-pound right-hander and his family then moved to Colorado because of a job transfer, and he attended Arapahoe Community College for the 1983-84 school year.

Wilkinson was playing in the Stan Musial league in the summer of '84 when a teammate - a University of Southern Colorado grad - told the USC coach, John Barnes, to come down and watch this kid from Grey Bull, Wyo., pitch.

Barnes did. And he was impressed. hnpressed enough to offer Wilkinson a scholarship.

"I threw one game and he decided to give me a scholarship," Wilkinson said.

"I threw against the Cherry Creek High School team - a team that sup-

posedly could hit the ball real well. A lot of those guys went on to big schools."

No problem. Wilkinson sparkled with a four-inning, one-hit shutout..

Wilkinson accepted the scholarship and pitched 45 innings for USC and

John Wilkinson

struck out as many batters. But when the school dropped the baseball program because of budget cuts, he headed north again, this time to Denver and MSC. Five schools and six cities later, John

•

is finally staying put at Metro State.

A Business Management/ Economics major, Wilkinson plans to graduate from MSC then pursue a masters degree in Colorado and then continue working for the Amoco Corporation where he has been employed since he moved to Colorado. But that doesn't mean he has cancelled out baseball as a career.

"It's just an outside thing," Wilkinson said. "If I were to get drafted I might take a chance. If they ask me, I think rm good enough."

At least his stats say so. Presently, he posts a 3-2 record and a 3.38 E.R.A. in 32 innings.

Not blessed with overpowering speed, his bread and butter is the curveball. The rest of his arsenal includes an 84 m.p.h. fastball, a forkball and a sinker that is "kind of a harder curveball" and "kind of a slider,"' he said. A slurve as he calls it.

Wilkinson's goal for this year are for the team to win District VII - a feat MSC has never accomplished - and to get his E.R.A. under three.

"It's tough to do that in college ball," he said.

Opinion/Basketball vs. Acadeillics In regard to David Hamilton's comments on basketball and academics (March 5) I would like to respond to certain misconceptions and misinformation Mr. Hamilton seems to be burdened with in regard to the manner in which athletics are managed at Metro State and at other colleges across the nation.

To begin with, at no time have academic scholarships {or any other scholarships) been awarded to athletics with GPA's of 1.5 as Mr. Hamilton has stated. NCAA rules specify that no athlete may compete without "maintaining a grade-point average that places the student-athlete in good academic standing as established by the

institution for all students who are at an equivalent stage of progress toward a degree." (Quoted from NCAA Bylaws 5-1-j-6 of the 1985-86 NCAA Manual.)

At Metro State that GPA is 2.0.

Next, the athlete Mr. Hamilton refers to as being admitted after the cap closed was, in fact, an out-of-state student, therefore unaffected by the cap on IN-STATE enrollment established by the State Legislature.

To continue, the $125,000 Mr. Hamil<on attributed to the basketball program is, in fact, more than the entire budget for all athletic programs at MSC allotted by the S.A.B. last year.

That money helps support 11 varsity sports serving approximately 200 stu-

dent-athletes who work hard to receive a degree and to help improve the image and credibility of Metro State.

The Metro State athletic department is committed to offering studentathletes the chance to compete and to advance their education in the same fashion that such stellar institutions as Harvard, Stanford and Princeton have given student-athletes such as John Elway, Jim Plunkett, and Senator Bill Bradley. Basketball and academics can co-exist for the better.ment of both the student body and Metropolitan State College.

ARE LOOKING

IN THE WRONG PLACE FoRHELP. Do you go to the refrigerator even though you're not really hungry? Do you keep eating long after you're full?

Chances are, your insatiable hunger is for something more than food.

You could be one of the millions of people who use food to fill an emptiness inside. A feeling of rejection. Frustration.

Or loneliness.

Yet the more you eat. the lonelier and more unhappy you become. It's a vicious cycle. But it's not your fault.

It's a serious disease called Bulimia or Bulimarexia.

No one can recover by themselves. Willpower doesn't help. Dieting and pills only make it worse. Even therapy isn't always successful in treating eating disorders.

Ours is one of the nation's leading eating disorder programs. It's successful because we treat our patients' physical, social, spiritual, and psycholo~cal needs.

And we help them to recover m an atmosphere of warmth and caring.

Call us. We understand the pain and frustration you're feeling.

We know what you're going through.

Tmdeone tough sununer for two great years.

The Army ROTC Basic Camp. It's tough because you'll be making up for the entire first two years of the Army ROTC Four-Year Program. Two years in only six weeks.

During this time, while we're toughening up your body a little, we'll be even tougher on your mind. By asking you to complete a concentrated course of study covering all the topics you missed.

But when you return to college in tile fall, you can look forward to two pretty great years.

You'll be earning an extra $100 a month, up to ten months a year. And you'll also b~ earning an officer's commission while you're earning your college degree.

If you're transferring from junior college, or for some other reason you couldn't take the first two years of ROTC, look into the Army ROTC Two-Year Program. .

Army ROTC, the more you look at it, the better it looks.
