funding (and) investment- it's got to be there." The political, educational and business leaders on the panel tied the importance of economic growth for academic institutions to that of the state as a whole. Citing the state's excellent potential for growth, MSC President Paul Mage1li said "the possibilities (for growth in the state) we have now won't be around in five years."

The topic at Monday morning's edition of Agenda 86 was mediocrity in higher education-a discussion that inevitably centered around funding for those institutions. · "There is no question," University of Colorado President Gordon Gee said, "colleges can and should improve. But,

Economic growth for the state, the panelists said, requires investment in higher education. "Funding is the bottom line (regarding excellence in education)" democratic senator Regis Groff said. Groff used the forum to throw the political gauntlet at republican senator Jim Lee, fellow member of the senate education committee. "Dollars are being pulled by the federal government," Groff said. The

republicans are promising lower taxes and quality education at the same time, he said. Lee said the republicans .are com-~ mitted to "world class excellence" in education, but want parameters established that will allow lawmakers to gauge the success of education. "We need accountability," Lee said. "People who pay taxes and legislators~ who allocate funds need to know what we're buying." "I can't be held accountable," Gee said, "for funds I don't have." Blenda Wilson, executive director of the Colorado Commission on Higher"' Education, explained that the role of the CCHE is to "Interpret the feelings of the state to make a unified image of higher education. "Each institution," she said, "must have its area of excellence," be that~ research, agriculture or providing for citizens who "have the right to higher education without the pressure of graduate programs." Magelli echoed the concern of providing for a diverse student population. "Too much burden for excellence? (in edu·cation) is being placed on the

"' Though supporting development in the state of atom smashers, research and development parks, and other high-tech, job-producing projects, Magelli joined Gee in expressing concern over the declining enrollment in 41 the arts and humanities. "For the first time, students are studying for jobs, not for interest. For example," Magelli said, "we don't have a French horn player (in the MSC orchestra).

Partiers as diverse as campus

21st Birthday bash a smash '

From outside the Student Center, the birthday party looks a little slow. The cafeteria is filled with an older, sedate crowd. Nice people no doubt, but not exactly a hip to be hep and a happening scene. Uh-oh~ A little slow. But, the cafeteria is full of older partiers because there is no room for them in the main corridor or on the second level.

Inside, the party's hopping. It's a real party, with a wide diversity of people eating unexpectedly good food, and filling frequently at numerous Coors-products taps. (They had George Killian's hidden away upstairs.) Staffers are talking college shop, alumni wait to win door prizes

(good stuff - an autographed Broncos' football, savings accounts, ski and travel packages), and silly students are breathing helium and talking funny to teachers. Hey, this is a good party. Dancing, music, beer and birthday cake. Metro's 21st Birthday Party was a coming of age celebration within a large and (at least for this night) amiable family. 路 Among those who showed, students were not as well represented as alumni and staff, but when gubernatorial candidate Roy Romer lauded the uniqueness and accomplishments of the college, the cheer of approval sounded like so many spirited freshman at a ho.m ecoming game.

Los Angeles artist, inventor and writer Philip Garner joins local artists Jean Schiff, William Kastan and Gay Lasher in a playful display of collected stuff.

Regent Fowler calls '~fow " on Bishop Tutu visit by Frederick G. Ripley

What's all the "to do" about Bishop Desmond Tutu being invited to speak at the Auraria campus? It all depends on who you ask. The outspoken anti-apartheid Anglican archbishop and 1984 Nobel Peace Prize recipient from South Africa was contacted by UCD student government concerning a proposed speaking engagement. Not able to comply with last spring semester's time frame, Tutu asked to speak during the summer. "There aren't as many students enrolled during the summer, so we decided to wait," John Frank, last year's coexecutive of the UCD student government, and currently the student administrator to the president and board of regents, said. According to Rose Young, UCD student executive, a letter extending an open invitation was sent to Tutu on Sept. 22, via express mail. "We anxiously await a reply, and hopefully a confirmation," Young said. Recently, the regents passed a resolution establishing a SouthlAfrican scholarship fund . "It is self-generated monies provided to nonwhite South African students so that they can attend universities at home, as well as cu:路 Frank said. "Fifty cents is matched for each dollar collected through the student check-off fee at registration."

This applies only to South African students planning to attend CU. Although no one seems to be aware of Tutu's exact speaking fee, Frank claimed that approximately $20,000 from the CU Events Board fund has been identified for this purpose. Ticket sales are expected to cover any additional costs and generate more money for the South African scholarship fund. Standing in opposition to Tutu's proposed visit is Regent Hugh Fowler, RDenver. Fowler maintains that Tutu is a frustrated politician and agent of the Soviet Union whose objective is to create destabilization within South Africa. "He should keep in mind that when colonized, it was not a black nation," Fowler said. "If destabilization were to occur, thousands of blacks would be out of work, and we would be denied the minerals and resources that are crucial to us." Calling on history as proof that most democracies don't last in Africa, Fowler said, "before blindly supporting Tutu, we should call in Chief Buthelezi of the Zulu tribe for a different perspective." From the standpoint that the university is a place of honest inquiry, the regents have instructed the program council (a student organization) to achieve a balance or look elsewhere for funding. As for Tutu, "it goes back to the old duck theory,'' Fowler said. "When you look like a duck, walk like a duck, and talk like a duck . .. chances are you're a duck." D

A new process for Spring 1987 registration will require Metro students under the age of 20 to seek faculty advising if they want to register early and will emphasize telephone rather than mail registration. Tobin Barraza, vice president of academic affairs, and Jett Conner, faculty assistant to the vice president, said "traditional" students, those who are 18 to 20 years old, will receive "an encumberance" which will prevent them from registering during the first three weeks of registration without a faculty advisor's signature. "In order to register by telephone, traditional students will have to see a faculty advisor to clear an A encumbrance," Conner said. "We are separating traditional from non-traditional students at least for a while," he said. "The moment you hit 20, you become, by this definition, a non-traditional student." Advising will begin Oct. 28. Nontraditional students and students with A encumbrances removed can telephone register begin.ring Nov. 3. and traditional students without an adviso.r's signature will have to wait until Nov. 24, Conner said.

penalized. If we fall below the number, we run into similar problems in which we have to give money back." Also new for spring registration is that mail registration will no longer have priority over telephone registration, and walk-in registration will continue to have the least priority. "We're shifting the priority to the telephone system," Conner said. "It's instantaneous." The people who call in first will have priority, though students' credit hours will be taken into consideration. In addition, students will be able to pay their $50 deposit and tuition over the telephone, providing they have . Visa, Master Card or Choice credit cards. "If students choose to pay by credit card, they simply phone in and enter the credit card number," Conner said. "It's a great advantage." Barraza said it is unlikely students will get a busy signal when telephone registering, and it is unlikely that the computer will make a mistake. "We don't see much of that," he said, 'but those things happen." The new telephone system, which is one of six in the country, should eliminate a lot of standing in line in the Central Classroom building, Barrozo said. "UCD would love to have that piece of technology," he said. o

"By that point in time, a lot of classes will start filling up," he said. "Though non-traditional students are encouraged to seek advising also, we are freeing non-traditional students from this unless they want it," Conner said. "It is traditional students that we feel need this advising."

Though faculty members had not been advised of the new process as of last week, Barrozo said it will not mean extra work for them. "Advising is something the faculty is typically involved in anyway," he said. Barraza said the new process will be more welcoming and accommodating to students, while ensuring that MSC reaches the enrollment cap. "It's not wise to go around cancelling people's registration You run the risk of not reaching the enrollment cap," he. said. "It's important because if we have a great number of students that exceed the cap, then we are financially

Auraria's fourth annual Career Day opened doors to job opportunities for .thousands of students interested in making the transition from scholar to employee last Wednesday in the Student Center. Representatives from 51 companies discussed career possibilities within their organizations, possibilities that have materialized into jobs for Metro students in the past. Laurie Olson of Weiss and Co., an accounting firm also an MSC graduate, made her first contact with her employer through the 1985 Career Day. Olson said Weiss is impressed by the superior caliber of Metro students. "Our company has hired quite a few people from Metro," she said. "We've had good experiences with MSC graduates." The \Veiss firm wasn't the only company impressed by students from MSC, or for that matter University of Colorado at Denver, and Community Col-

lege of Denver. Company representatives eagerly answered questions and accepted applications from interested parties from all three schools. Furthermore, to ensure that every possible facet of a career search would be included, the coordinators sponsored a series of 31 workshops on the campus. Some of the workshops provided short film strips followed by reiteration of the highlights and question and answer sessions. Jayne James, assistant director of MSC's co-operative education, emphasized the importance of getting handson experience before entering the work environment. "Co-op provides networking in your field and it allows exploration of different positions before you commit yourself to a specific field," James said. Even when applying for a co-op position, it is important to write an acceptable resume, and W.M. Gary Jones, a recruiting supervisor for Public Service of Colorado, stressed the significance of a well-written, targetdirected resume. continued on page 8

"Don't send generalized resumes, .. Jones said. "An employer can tell when he's just one of 80 people receiving your resume." Jones also advised his audience not to address resumes "to whom it may concern." "When I get a cover letter addressed 'to whom it may concern', I say, "It doesn't concern me," and I don't even bother to look at it," he said. Whether anyone will heed Jones' suggestions remains to be seen, but thousands of students thought the day's events important enough to attend, making this the most successful Career Day y~t at A~~a.

"At least 3,000 students attended," Julie Hughes, manager of career services, said. "This was our biggest one in four years." Hughes said compared to last year, when only 23 companies and 2,000 students participated, this year's attendance and participation was great. Nonetheless, Hughes wanted to emphasize that Career Day was not equivalent to a job fair. "It's not a job fair, but a chance to explore different careers," Hughes said. "A lot of freshmen and sophomores attended and said they were just interested in exploring possibilities, and that's what it's all about," she said. Hu'1'.bes said in a questionnaire they offered. almost every student thought Career Day was great and wished it could've lasted longer.

As impressive as the day was for the students, Hughes said she was most impressed by the three schools pulling together to make the day such an undeniable success. "It was nice seeing all the administrators shaking bands and getting along so well," Hughes said. Of course, this elite group bad reason to be congenial. Auraria's fourth annual Career Day ended with a wine and cheese reception for faculty, staff, administrators, employers and workshop representatives. If you weren't fortunate enough to receive an invitation to this social event or weren't fortunate enough to spend the day exploring job markets this time, don't fret. September '87 is just a year away. D

by Robert Ritter Imagine the public address announcer at Super Bowl XXX: "Starting for Denver at right guard from Metro State College .... " Impossible? Not if Metro students Earl Brown and Randy McBrayer and 25 of their teammates have anything to say about it. Brown decided last January that he would like to see a football team at Metro, so he put up fliers announcing the first meeting of the Roadrunner football team. Ten people showed up at the first meeting. One of them was McBrayer and now the two of them are more than just students with an idea.

"We met at the first team meeting and have worked as a team since," Brown said. "Randy and I run the practices, we're equipment managers, fundraisers and we sell Gold C books."

APiece ~A

So the football team has come under the tutelage of campus recreation as one of the many club sports at Metro. With no coach or schedule, they are as Brown says, "like a family on coupons." But he said he feels that will change. . "Eventually a coach will show up. And the people we've talked to, the (semipro) Colorado Cougars, the Air Force junior varsity, the Wyoming Junior varsity and Colorado College, said if we get a team together they would play us," Brown said.

They practice three times a week and have an offense Brown calls "very basic." All players must sign a waiver that does not hold the school responsible for providing insurance, and prevents the school from being sued. Brown said the team is coming together and hopes it eventually meets his original goals. "Metro suffers from a lack of school spirit in general," be said. "We'd like to change that in one small way. It is already starting to happen.'' Brown said he would one day like to see a football program at Metro. For now that may be impossible because the Trustee Policy Manual, the changeable MSC law, outlaws a varsity football team. Still, don't be surprised to see 25 guys practicing football wearing blue and gold and calling themselves the Metro State Roadrunners. Someday there just may be big-time c:ollege .football at Metro.

Burt Lancaster & Kirk Douglas star in Tough Guys

Old-timers can't bring 'Tough Guys' together by Gall Rgnontl Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas share starring roles in Tough Guys, which is advertised as this fall's actioncomedy movie. This description should be changed to this fall's "lackingcomedy" movie. At any rate, the action in this film consists of punching a couple of street gang members and jumping across a moving train. This is action, however, it's misleading to call the entire movie anything but far-fetched and overdone. The story begins with Harry Doyle

(Lancaster) and Archie Long (Douglas) being released from prison after serving a 30 year term for attempting to rob a train. Too much emphasis is put on the characters being the last to rob a train - espcially by their child~ like parole officer Richie (newcomer Dana Carvey) who absolutely idolizes the ex-cons. Unexplained throughout the movie is a crazy old coot with two inch thick glasses and a machine gun who chases down Harry and Archie. It's only at the end of the film that we find out why, which turns out to be disappointing and a bit silly.

Paul Hogan as Crocodile Dundee

Some fine films have come out of Australia - Gallipoli and Walkabout come to mind, but the originality and integrity of these classics from, down under don't rub off on the newest export, Crocodile Dundee. Still, you'll find laughs worth the price of twilight admission if you check your sense of reality at the door. Crocadile Dundee patches together two familiar plots: writer meets adventurer and they fall in love during their adventure (Jewel of the Nile), and innocent stumbles into the big bad world of New York City (Splash). But here, the innocent is hard-drinkingrough-talking-master-of-tbe-outback Mick "Crocodile" Dundee. TI1e title character is played well by Paul Hogan, a stellar personality in Australia whose "G'Day" and "Come Down Under" ads on American-television have pitched the Australian to\irist package. He's as charming and tautly masculine as Clint Eastwood, but ·already too old to inspire major bloodcell revolt in females under 35 who lack father fixations.

Lasher's "Dreams in Dry Sand," a series of color photographs, portrays her own finished landscapes using the sandbox and toy objects on display.
