Shakespeare and Peter Pan

The Boy Who Could Fly. by Bob Haas

T

We all share the dream, the fantasy of being able to fly. It's a common myth, a collective memory. Being able to fly is being full of possibility, full of spirit hope. The idea of being able to fly is different, perhaps better than flying itself. It is different like falling in love is different than being in love. The Boy Who Could Fly is the story of Milly Michaelson (Lucy Deakins}, a young girl in the mold of Shakespeare's Juliet. Like Juliet, she is fourteen, no

longer a child, and not yet a young woman. And like Juliet, she changes the world and herself by falling in love. With her mother (Bonnie Bedalia) and little brother Louis (Fred Savage}, Milly moves to a new town after the death of her father. Her mother reenters the work force, her brother rides his big wheel and is intimidate'd off the block by the neighborhood bullies. Milly is the new kid at schopl. Living in the house next door with his drunken

Jay Underwood in The Boy Who Could Fly

Uncle Hugo is Eric, the weird kid at school. Eric really is the weird kid. Diagnosed as autistic, he hasn't spoken or interacted since he was five, when his parents were killed in a plane crash. He spends his time on rooftops and win-

smile, and a half hearted, "I guess I messed up." Milly watches from her window as Eric, silent and faceless, sits on his roof and pretends he can fly. On the most obvious level the film is a formulaic vision of optimistic ado-

When Eric's face finally thaws, when it laughs and cries ... one senses the presence of a special, archetypical ki.nd. of healing. It feels good.

dow ledges pretending to fly. Uncle Hugo (Fred Gwynne) is endearing, a fully incompetent drunk. He cares for and about Eric, but when the boy. is (again) taken by social workers and institutionalized, Uncle Hug-0 can manage only a decrepit

lescence - if kids try hard enough and believe in themselves, things will work out. And it works on this level, and would be a helpful boost for any preadolescent grappling with such no longer a kid but not a young adult concerns. continued on page 12

Aliens/from page 1 selves, encourage the government to keep on harassing people who come here to work. We have collective nightmares about "those" people: • The day before the closing on your house, 14 Vietnamese people move in next door and the buyer backs out. They eat your dog. • You are lost in a strange part of town, and you can't find your way out because all of the

You buy a map of the city, and it is written in Spanish. • You finally get home and turn on the news and Dan Rather is speaking in Spanish.

this time forward of all dubious race elements . . ." - Professor Robert F. Foerster, Report to the U.S. Deparbnent of Labor, 1928.

What are we defending, really? The people who happen to live in a nation-state called the United States? Governor Lamm, the futurist, should be one of the first to recognize that the nation-state is an outdated concept from what Alvin Toffler calls "second wave" societies. Nationalists who espouse heavy-handed immigration policies are arguing that our first responsibility is to protect "our own." . La.mm uses that phrase quite a lot. Here's what he told a group of people in Alamosa in June 1984: "If we're going to get jobs for our own people, we've got to, in fact, stop that steady flow that's coming in and cutting our . .. own ability to get our own people back to work." (italics mine). But if we live in a global village, who the heck is "our own?" And if it isn'.t prejudice to claim that citizens of the United States deserve help through a kind of ''human protectionism" then what is it? It is a failure of logic to say that it is morally wrong to let an alien starve while he is here in this country, but that we have no moral responsibilities if he starves while we keep him trapped in his own country. I say: better to let him pursue his dreams and starve here, if necessary. The government need not (and ought not) give hand-outs to anybody. That is not thejob of government. That is the job of churches and charities. But the government has no right to tell a man when he can work, or who he can work for, or hor how much. Everybody deserves a chance. Better to die like a man than live like a dog.

Are You Metro Material? Take this easy exam and find out

by Bob Mook Note: In the great impersonal tradition of phone registration, and mail registration, The Metropolitan, in cooperation with MSC, is introducing a new concept in the college experience ... the do-it-yourself campus orientation. This new approach is a hassle-free, time conserving method that will share the new student the agony of suffering through videotaped presentations that merely instruct on how to fill-out endless forms (" . . . write your name over the box that says 'name'. .."). This orientation, if followed precisely, will help launch the new student into the realities (?) of qollege life. MSC "New-Student" Orientation Welcome to Metropolitan State College! Whether you're a returning student, or a victim of our catchy marketing campaign (see module one with the Bronco fan holding a copy of T. V. Guide), MSC has much to off er for the non-smoking scholar. To begin your orientation at Metro, take a brisk stroll outside the Auraria campus. Notice how two opposite

factions of society - the derelicts and the students - cross paths with complete disregard for each other .. . Oh, if only the world, were such a place! After your brisk stroll, visit the Auraria Book Center, and intentionally try to look lost. When a bookstore employee asks if you need· help finding anything, reply "Yes, I need a friend!" Chances are the flattered employee will respond to your remark with a warm, loving embrace. Now that you've enrolled in MSC, read The Metropolitan, toured the premises, purchased your books, and met a friend , you're probably feeling like a real col1ege student ... although you're not. Before you can be considered a genuine "student" of MSC, you must complete the brief standard diagnostic entrance exam featured in this issue of The Metropolitan. , If you enrolled in this college because of the aformentioned advertisement . .. congratulations, you've

already passed the "reading compre· hension" portion of the test! Failure to pass the remainder of the entrance exam will not result in immediate termination of enrollment, but it will result in a secret conspiracy to persuade you to drop out

of college. This conspiracy may involve instructors grading your assignments unfairly, financial difficulties, or unwanted pregnancies. Now that you've "improved your game plan," let's play ball!

Metro and the Denver Post teamed up last year to attack hot topics of local concern (convention center, metropolitan growth, mediocracy in higher education and on and on) with the help of experts. They build panels of politicians and community leaders with experience in the topic of the day in invite educated people to participate as an audience. Each forum is on a new topic some topics are carried over to part II on a second day - with new panelists. They hold the forums once a month at the Denver Center Cinema and Metro and the Post breaks out coffee, bagels and controversy for the taking. All for free. A moderator keeps the discussion between the experts and the audience orderly and writers use the opportunity to develop story id~as for their editorial page. Recently these mornings of thoughtful debate ' and free food have been opened to the general public (students). Previously, the forums had been invitation only events. Invitations still go out to the business and political leaders but now they're looking for any- and everybody to come join in the fun, because fresh minds make the forum. Free food for thought.

P~S

Money Matters

Lots路of loot left by Michael Archibeque Metro students concerned about financial aid grants and loans should not fret - money is still available. Although funds are limited to those who meet the qualifications, President Reagan's proposed cuts in student aid have not become a reality and probably won't. Cheryl Judson, MSC director for financial aid, said that students who have met the deadlines and qualify for financial aid should have no problems receiving their money. Also, students applying late can still receive funds. Guaranteed student loan (GSL) money is still available and funds for Pell grants have been increased, according to Judson. The financial aid office will defer half of the tuition for students who applied late, and the other half will be due after Thanksgiving when the status of the student's financial aid request is determined. The student will be responsible for the difference if aid is denied. Judson .said the MSC financial aid office received more than 3,500 applications for '86-87 compared with 2,000 applications for '85-86, Thanks to some re-organization, the MSC office is three months ahead of other offices statewide in processing loans and grants, she said. "Metro students are very attentive in getting their forms in on time," Judson said, thus making it the busiest financial aid office in the state. Approximately "one-third of the students at MSC receive financial aid," she said. Although, some students may be

frustrated by the bureaucracy involved in the processing procedure - forms take two to three weeks for the initial processing then another three to four weeks after the paperwork is submit-

ted to the Financial Aid Office - the MSC staff does its best to please its heirs. "Students once again are encouraged to meet the deadlines to expedite the process or at least ~ake it more timely," Judson said. Forms for '87-88 should be available December l . The end of April is usually the cut-off date for confirmed aid for those who qualify, although students can apply for aid into each semester. "It's an election year," according to Judson, so funds for student aid should be available for the next few years. D

Homeless woman arrested A 66-year-old homeless woman was arrested by Auraria officials last week after she caused a disruption and refused to leave campus. According to a report filed by Auraria Public Safety, Marjorie Guerve, 66, was temporarily arrested before she and a companion were escorted off campus by Denver police officers. The incident began when Cami Shams, a student security guard, denied Guerve and Dale H. Nienstaedt, age unknown, access to the Science Building. "Shams stated that they told him they were going in for some water," according to the report. "Shams advised that since they had no legitimate reason for being in the buildings and had been advised in the past to remain out, he was denying them entry." The woman then cursed Shams and threatened to sue him and the Auraria campus. She said she was trying to get into the Science Building to phone her doctor and began complaining of chest pains. "Guerve was shaking, sweating a bit and shouting," the report stated, but when the Denver Fire Department and Denver General Hospital medical

personnel arrived on the scene, she refused treatment. When Guerve continued to refuse to leave campus, Curtis SprQul, a Public Safety officer, arr-ested her and contacted the Denver Police Department, the report stated. Meanwhile, Guerve simultaneously contacted the police via pay phone, Sproul said in his report, "and began to complain to the clerk about (Sproul) and the. state trying to kick her off campus, harassing her and keeping her from her doctor." When Denver police arrived on the scene, Sproul released the woman, and she and Nienstaedt were escorted off campus by the Denver officers, the report stated. Their destination reportedly was Lakewood. Lolly Ferguson, Public Safety technical services manager, said transients on campus are a problem, but not a big problem. "It's generally not too big of a problem until it gets cold," she said. "There are a few who like to use our facilities for washing and sleeping and purposes they weren't designed for - like showering."

Book Center best bet: by Steve Irick Fall registration is always tough. If you can stay cool after spending $571.50 in tuition for 12 credit hours of classes, you're doing great. If you can maintain your composure through spending 路 another hundred dollars and standing in checkout lines that can take upward of 30 minutes, you're doing even better. Students attending school full time can experience a real financial blow, as the number of required books for any given class can range from one to over 18. For the most part, one to three is the average, but regardless, at $2.5 each, purchasing books for class can mean a lot of money.

According to officials at the Auraria Book Center, if you make it out of the bookstore without spending $100, you either didn't get all the books you need, or you are attending only part time. One employee said most students leave the store with well over that much in textbooks and supplies. Mike Curnow, Auraria Book Center director, said the average price for a textbook is between $20 and $30. Used books cost about 2.5 percent less, and 路 as a rule, English books cost less than most other texts. As Curnow said, these are average prices; This semester, textbooks range anywhere from $6 to $45. "Last semester, we had one book that cost over $70," Curno.w said. continued on page 10

Sliwery when waxed... A fall on a slippery floor in the Student Center has left an amputee completely immobile and forced to postpone his educational plans at Metro for at least one semester. Ronald Cawley, 39, said he was going into the cafeteria to get some coffee, and as he crossed a carpeted area and placed his crutches on a tiled portion of floor, the crutches slipped and he fell, "shattering" his kneecap. The floor had been waxed the night before, according to a Public Safety report, and was very slippery. "When my crutches hit the fresh wax, they slid out from under me like I was on iee," Cawley said. Cawley was taken to a VA hospital and is now in a cast. He faces surgery this week, 10 to 14 days in the hospital and eight to 10 weeks in a cast. Cawley, who has a chemistry degree from the University of Southern California and was planning to begin classes this fall at Metro to become certified in

I'm totally immobile," Cawley, who lost his other leg last May as a result of a motorcycle accident, said. "I can't even get off the sofa." Cawley said he has not heard from officials about Auraria's liability in the matter or the coverage of his medical bills. "It's funny," he said. "As I was laying there (in the student center),they stuck up eight of those 'slippery when wet signs." Jerome Wartgow, executive director of the Auraria Higher Education Center, said Auraria's liability has yet to be determined. "These cases are handled by the Attorney General's office. We generally don't get involved," Wartgow said. "If it is determined that the center is liable, then the person will be compen- Lisa Arndt sated for it."

MSC Soccer team tops Alumni in season opener

Lichtenstein circus is er...y,

The MSC men's alumni soccer team opened the '86 season Saturday at home against the Alumni. MSC won the divisional championship last year and Head Coach Bill Chambers believes that this year's team is capable of doing the same. Metro will move up from NAIA to NCAA Division II competition this year, though Chambers' concern this Saturday was focused on the Alumni team. "If they field their best (younger} team, they can be very strong," Chai;nbers said. His fear was justified as some of the Alumni's younger players showed up to play ball. Harry Tern.mer, former MSC head coach for 21 years, was the acting head coach for the Alumni. He said that some of the players still play competitive soccer. The Alumni came out firing, making numerous assaults on the MSC goalie. After warming to the pace, MSC retaliated with an assault 路 of their own. Nevertheless the first half ended with neither team scoring. The Alumni struo)< first, about halfway into the third quarter, when Loren Donaldson scored dn a pass from Tim Vetter.

Coach Bill Chambers Closing out the third quarter, MSC's Marty Richardson and Mitch Gorsevski teamed to give Metro its first goal. "They gave him (Donaldson) too much time (alone)," Temmer said. Richardson threw the ball from the sideline which met Gorsevski's knee

and caught the comer of the goal. After blocking a free kick attempt by Donaldson, MSC went on to score the game-deciding goal - Greg Sumlin's head shot, assisted by John Talyat. Coach Chambers said he is pleased with the play of his three captains, Marty Richardson, Greg Sumlin and David Morgan, as well as Mitch Gorsevski and Michael Wachter. He is also excited about the potential of several of the freshmen players. An increase in the soccer team budget will allow Metro to compete with the NCAA Division II schools on a more even basis, Chambers said. The most notable factors being flying to far away places versus taking a bus and better equipment. "If we want to compete with these schools it's imperative that we have a budget that allows us to do so," Coach Chambers stresses. Tryouts for the team are still being held until the end of August, 35:30 p.m., Monday through Friday at the soccer field across from the Tivoli. The next home game will be Friday, September 5, at 4 p.m. against the College of the Southwest. D

Looking around town will only find you back at the bookstore, as most textbooks needed for courses on this campus are generally not available at other bookstores. The only exceptions are reference

You can find yourself waiting in line to pay for your books nearly an hour sometimes.,, - Mike Curnow Auraria Book Center Director books and study guides, which can be purchased at almost any bookstore for basically the same price. In a cost comparison, Auraria bookstore prices were within one dollar of other bookstores. Officials from Walden Books said many textbooks can be ordered through their store, however it usually takes four to six weeks for delivery. "Most bookstores buy their own books directly from the publisher or a large distributer," said Linette Hayat, of Western Continental Book Inc., a local book distributer. According to Curnow, the Auraria Book Center obtains its books from three major sources. "We buy a lot of our books directly from the publishers and used book dealers,'' Curnow said, "but probably

marked on the book or they give a suggested retail price to the dealer,'' Hayat said. "The dealer can't really hike up the price, so all things considered, the books are being sold at good prices." Curnow said the bookstore is a service-oriented store and is not operating to make a profit. "We price the books to cover the cost of purchasing, shipping and stocking them in the store," Curnow said. "Anything we make is used to pay rent or help pay off the school bond." Hayat said some of the things dealers have to consider when they buy books is whether or not they will overbuy the book they need and is so, how many they will be stuck with because the distributor or publisher won't buy back. "Considering the fact that the book-

• store will usually buy the books back from you at the end of the semester and also that the location of the bookstore is convenient are other benefits to consider," Hayat said. Curnow said that textbooks sold at the bookstore are marked up by 20 to 23 percent. "We try to be very competitive on all of our prices," he said. "While we can't do much with the prices of the books, the prices on school supplies are very competitive with other stores." Curnow said while the bookstore's prices on supplies may not be able to beat K-Mart or Target on everything, one thing they can do is beat them on the quality of the items they sell. "We combine our orders with other schools from throughout the region to get good prices on good quality supplies that most other store can't beat," said Curnow. "We're very proud of the prices we offer in that respect." The bookstore also offers very competitve prices on clothing and electronic equipment Curnow said. "Just go across the street and make a comparison," said Curnow. Students who have yet to purchase books for this semester are advised by bookstore officials to do so as early as possible. "Don't try to come in during the lunch hour," Curnow advised. Between 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. is the worst time to buy your books. You can find yourself waiting in line to pay for your books nearly an hour sometimes." D

Actors Talking With ... Audience at UCO Theater ....

by Bob Haas An actor sits before her make-up mirror, oblivious to the audience filling the theater. In the course of the ten minutes before the play begins, she transforms herself from hair curled and puffy faced ordinary into a glamorous piece of entertainment. Her's is the first monologue in a collection of ten; the play is Talking With .. ., and the backstage dressing room conversation between an actor playing an actor talking to an audience about an audience is a slightly surreal beginning to a fascinating pictograph of the human form. Talking With ... is ten seperate perceptions and observations from ten unique characters, all ten of whom are women. One would expect this overwhelming female presence to push Talking With ... into that angry or self congratulatory genre of feminist perceptions, but it does not.

The evening at UCD's Second Stage is filled with an arresting mix of persons engaged in bits of '1acerating self exposure." This is the actor's description of her profession, and it sets a theme for the entire play. None of the women experience great change nor great learning, but they all get very close to the edge of some one thing within themselves, and that lacerating closeness slashes the audience, and in macabre fascination draws them near. . The characters are diverse: a cowboy lamenting the commercialization of the rodeo circuit, a baton twirler who finds religious fulfillment in the arching flight of her baton, a snake handler, a senior citizen alone in her lamp lighted apartment. Even the woman experiencing the pain and terror of childbirth is more a person confronting a piece of life than a woman with a female problem.

Carol Strawn: Handler

Director Dennis Beck has drawn a compelling sketch using the well concentrated graphite of ten fine actors. He has left the strength of the script (penned in 1981 by an anonomous playwrite) intact, his characters work within the monologues. The dramatization comes not from theatrics, but

..

from an alarming synthesis between actor, character and script Talking With... continues its run Aug. 29, 30 31 in room 278 of the Arts building with performances Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 8:00 p.m., and an added performance Saturday at D 5:30p.m. .

Yet, there are some things terribly compelling about The Boy Who Could Fly. Some things that cause one to look back, to reflect, to dig deeper. Two of these things are the young actors in the lead roles. As Eric, Jay Underwood is overwhelming. He spends most of the film in mute face and mannerism. So believable is his zombied state of retreat that one feels a hesitancy to get close. And one notices Milly when she volunteers to do so at the urging of a sympathetic teacher (Colleen Dewhurst) . Eric is a disturbingly injured piece of human wreckage. There is something so not right about him. His face is so frozen, his life is so shattered. Enter Milly Michaelson, a fresh and fantastically appealing girl who makes Eric her special project. This keeps her from blending in with the crowd at school, and this is so adult of her, so understanding, so full of grown up. Lucy Deakins' screen presence is overpowering. She is ~eautiful in the way Olivia Hussey was beautiful in Fellini's

-

Romeo and ]uliet. Deakins plays a very similar character, that of a girl, mature for her young age, who skips adolescence and becomes a woman when young love becomes real love. Milly is also Wendy from Peter Pan. She will grow up, she will leave b ehind the things of childhood. And as the dream of flying gives her the lift she needs to escape childhood, the love she has for her Peter Pan is what allows him to escape forever that adult world. r When Eric's face finally thaws, when' it laughs and cries because of Milly's love, one senses the presence of a special, archetypical kind of healing. It feels good. The Boy Who Could Fly is a sentimental film that plays by the rules. It is predictable as a fairy tale, and is similarly fulfilling. Kids should love it. The special effects are good - it's a dream fantasy. Adults should love it, too. Like the tale of Peter Pan, it gently connects the thread between childhood .. and grown-up. D

Mystery Dorms Robert Davis Editor

Have you seen the new dorms on campus? Talk about your classy, upbeat urban educational facility. Show me a dorm in posh Boulder with a jacuzzi/hot tub. Show me do~s nice enough for the president of the school to live in. No sir. Only at Metro. "But wait," you say. "I don't see no stinkin' dorms.'~ Of course not. If you could just see them it would give something away. I mean if you could just see them think how easy it would be for legislators to see. But now I'm rambling. Follow a basketball player or a soccer player home someday. You'll follow him right into the chic downtown apartment complex known to yuppies as the Parkway Center. The Parkway is no cheap-0 place. The smallest unit is 65.5 square feet and they range from $460-a-month to $580-a-month. "Metro is bringing so many people in here because we're so ideal for them," says a leasing agent. "We're in walking distance and we have King Soopers (on the ground floor) ." Wow. What a dorm.

The agent says Metro pays for the apartments and they "put whoever they want in there." Can fgo? Please. Can I get a room. Just think, neighbors with Paul Magelli. And I thought Metro didn't have dorms. I'm so silly. Let's follow our athlete friend back to school. Watch him sign for his food in the cafeteria. A five-pound salad for a signature. What a deal. I've met some people who I thought were pretty dam important and I've never met anybody who could just sign for their food in the cafeteria in the Student Center. Can I do that?? Maybe I could pay a bulk fee or HEYi Take it from my student fees . Yeah. That's the ticket. No really, It's OK. I'd rather you take it and buy me some burgers and fries than basketballs. I've got a basketball. It's in my garage and it's very flat. I've thought of planting something in it. Anyway, why rant on about dorms? Seems our boys have a hot tub and a King Soopers at elevator's reach but dam if they don't have enough toasters and microwaves. The following flyer was distributed in each campus mailbox (don't you wonder who pays for these things to be printed?).

What do ya say? Let's pitch in and support our poor basketball players. I mean they've been promised the big city roundball and they don't even have any damn furniture. Only at Metro. o

Dear Editor, Today is July 28th and summer semester is almost finished. As I am driving home I am thinking about how much I am looking forward to marketing my two hard earned B.S. degrees from Metropolitan State College in the real world. The local rock station takes time to cut to a commercial. It begins with corny sounding piano music in the background, the kind they use for advertising hospitals, birthing centers, and toddlers' toys. Much to my surprise this is a commercial for Metropolitan State College I The commercial proceeded to offer degrees from "Geology to J oumalism" and something else I did not quite catch. Your basic A to Z education. This commercial made the Barnes Business School commercial sound like one from MIT. (If they would stoop so low as to produce one.) Now I don't know how long this has been going on, but the thought of a prolonged campaign horrifies me. I, like most Metro students find myself apologizing for having graduated from this school. I know that I have received a sound education from this school and I would like to be able to feel the same sense of pride that people have when they graduate from CU or Mines. Metro is just starting to get a reputation for being a sound four year degree granting institution. It is my hope that in ten years I will be able to say with pride that I graduated from Metro. However, if Metro continues advertising like Barnes Business School or The Colorado Technical Institute, I have little hope for this. Most people will agree that a degree is only as good as its school's reputation. If people start associating Metro with two year non-accredited colleges, my resume an.cl many others will be unjustly passed over when an employer looks for that right person to fill the job. I for one did not pay good money to get a four year degree that may be perceived as less than credible. I don't know what the answers are, but as an alumni I hope Metro gets its act together about the image it wants to portray to the world. If Metro must advertise I hope they at least produce a commercial that befits the image of a prestigious institution and not a birthing center! Sincerely, John Lambe Jr.

Prof displays kaleidoscope of talent

Pont if pug el Spring board for Student Writers the magazine that they staff and produce. "I want to be able to move, touch and influence students positively in their writing,"· he said. Pugel assisted his students in displaying their creative abilities in poetry publications such as Windmills and Wishing Wells, where students were once a~in responsible for writing, editing, financing and distributing the publications. Pugel said he affects his students' writing careers by soft stroking them with liberal praise. That steadfast attitude of helping, and his style of literary guidance has won him the admiration of both his students and his associates. "I think he makes it really easy for you to learn stuff," said Nancy Miller, a Pugel student. "He in.spires you, and if you really get bogged down he'll take his time to help you. He really knows his field." Vance Aandahl, English professor and colleague, has similar opinions about Pugel. "I've always admired Bob for the enormous amount of time he put into M etrosphere magazine, and the time he's spent with his students," Aandahl said. Dr. Ed Lowe said Pugel is a very hard worker who continues to set good examples for his students. 'Tve noticed his personal mentoring of students when he tries to get them to use their writing strengths in different areas," said Lowe. "He understands students and tries to work with them." It is working with students that Pugel likes most about teaching at Metro. "I like the diversity of talent and students here. People who come here have chosen to do so, and that generally means they will work harder to accomplish their goals," he said. On the other hand, through every silver lined cloud some rain must fall. For Pugel, the rain falls in the frustration of the constant turnover of administration at Metro. "We've had so many administrators since I've been here, it's disconcerting," he said. - Frequently published, Pugel has

by J. Johnson

Famous professor at his ranch in Pueblo

A k!lleidoscope of talent coupled with a compassionate nature and a driving energy sets the foundation for this literary sketch of a man who has earned the love and respect of his students and peers. Robert J. Pugel came to Metropoiitan State College 18 years ago and has since helped shape the course of many lives. A creative writing instructor, Pugel has taught a variety of classes which have acted as springboards for his students. One such class involves the college's literary magazine, Metrosphere, which premiered with a Christmas issue in 1983 and has produced subsequent issues each year. Pugel said his idea for M etrosphere originated with a request from the late Richard Fontera, president of MSC. "Fontera asked me to start a magazine that would provide a visible product showcasing the college," Pugel said. And Pugel's dream of helping his students get their work published has complimented Fontera's wish to spotlight MSC's literary talent. As editor of Metrosphere, Pugel encouraged his students to submit to

more than 250 poems, short stories, book reviews and nonfiction pieces in print nationally and internationally. This in itself serves as inspiration for his students. He has hobnobbed with Robert Kennedy, Richard Lamm, Pat Schroeder, and Gary Hart, who recommended him for promotions at MSC. With 69 letters of commendation it's no wonder his name appeared in Who's Who in the West, Who's Who in Colorado, Who's Who in Politics, and Who's Who in the World. To students and associates Pugel is a suited, conscientious English professor. When he steps off the campus and out of the reference books he becomes a blue jeaned and free spirited cowboy on his ranch in Pueblo. Pugel said he feels just as satisfied performing the tasks that are common to ranchers as he does performing those that are common to writers. "Like crafting a poem, planting a tree is as much of a tum-on as writing a good phrase," he said. But working his ranch is not the only work-out Pugel is acquainted with. He and his wife, Elke, jog about six miles three times a week. He once studied yoga and has a brown belt in karate. And this 6'2" tanned professor exudes a picture of a fine-tuned body. Pugel believes he could have played professional baseball if he hadn't yielded instead to the call of graduate school. "I still play softball and I was voted Most Valuable Player on my Colorado Political softball team," he said. Community work marks another area of endeavor for Pugel. Because of his personal experiences studying at the University of London, he has assumed the position of the Rocky Mountain Advisor for British. University summer schools, and is involved in scholarship programs that provide for students to study in the United Kingdom. From wrangler to writer and from trees to typewriters, Pugel is willing to share it all for the benefit of his students. D

AFIS offers London Semester by Jim Stevens

'{.

«::

Qualified Metro State students can now spend an entire semester in Langon, England, taking courses that will count toward their degree program at MSC. New this fall, the London Semester was developed by Metro's Off-Campus Programs office in conjunction with the American Institute for Foreign Study (AIFS). Dr. Andrew Breckel, assistant vice president for Off-Campus Programs, says the London semester will provide a unique cultural and educational experience for MSC students. "We chose London," Breckel said, 'because it affords students international exposure in a country of similar culture and language while providing a hub of university facilities. The London semester contrasts

sharply with the two- and three-week educational tours available to Metro students in the past. Under the new program, students will live and study for a full 14-week semester in London. Class periods have been adjusted to correctly match Metro's 16-week semester. Except for an introductory course in . British Life and Culture, all courses are taught by MSC faculty, and course work is equal to MSC on-campus contact hours and workload assignments. Courses offered for the fall semester are in the area of political science. In the spring, the area of emphasis will be geography. Breckel says the program is considered resident instruction by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, which means students pay normal tuition and fees and can apply financial aid or co-op education funds toward the cost. In addition, to tuition, there is a nonacademic fee of $3450 plus a $100

and use the social programs. He was impressed by AFIS and feels· Metro has the right organization and program for its students. Breckel would like to see more students take advantage of the program, eventually building a 15 to 1 student to instructor ratio. Eight students have been accepted for the fall London semester and will leave Aug. 17. They were selected by their departments and individual grade point averages were considered in the selection process. Breckel hopes to develop a broadly based study abroad program at Metro with a variety of course offerings and host cities. Future locations may include cities in Spain and Japan if London works well.

refundable damage deposit. This covers roundtrip airfare, accomodations, 10 meals per week, cultural and social activities, membership in the University of London Union and the Imperial College Student's Union, membership in the Senate House Library and Kensington Public Libraries, medical insurance, AIFS counseling personnel, a social coordinator, and more. Breckel feels, however, that the most important aspect of the program is that MSC students now have the opportunity to pursue their undergraduate degree programs using British and continental resources and cross-cultural experiences.

Breckel has gone to London, himself, to test the system, check housing
