this institution."
Metro is soon to get its very own school song, written by the awardwinning composer Marvin Hamlisch, author of memorable movie music scores such as "The Sting," "The Way We Were," and "Ice Castles.'' MSC President Paul Magelli said the plans are tentative, but he chose Hamlisch because, "it's easy to identify him with this institution.'' "(Hamlisch) is one of the most approachable, human personalities in American music history," Magelli said. "He's unpretentious and easy to identify ~ith. He seemed right for
Harry Gianneschi, vice president of Institutional Advancement, said the details have not yet been finalized. "We are trying to put together an agreement in which Marvin would be doing a school song," Gianneschi said. "It's not possible to say it's signed, sealed and delivered yet." The song should be ready next spring, if everything goes as planned, Gianneschi said. "The dates haven't been confirmed yet," he said. "That's one of the ingredients we're working on." Magelli said he has been working on the deal for quite a while with
Sidney Shlenker, owner of the Denver Nuggets. "Mr. Shlenker is a friend and colleague of Marvin Hamlisch," according to Magelli. Magelli said Shlenker has assured him that Hamlisch will write the song, but the details have yet to be resolved. The Denver Symphony Orchestra will be involved in the unveiling of the song next spring, Giannesch_i said, possibly in the form of a benefit concert. "There is still a lot of discussion and a lot of negotiation," he said. "We're premature by days - we're
not premature by weeks anymore.'' Magelli said Hamlisch is writing the song as a gift to the school and he is not being paid. Magelli said _he's been impressed by Hamlisch's works, which include the songs "Lollipops and Rainbows,'' "Nobody Does it Better," and the theme song for "Good Morning, America." "His music always has a tremendous message," Magelli said. Hamlisch has won several Academy awards for his movie scores, as well as a Tony award and a Pulitzer Prize for his work in the musical, "A Chorus Line." D

Wirth defends the American Dream, attacks opponent
-> ·
by Keith Levise
'
U.S. Congressmen Tim Wirth and Ken Kramer have been hammering each other in a long, tough battle for the Senate. With the general election now less than a week away, Wirth is impassioned- displaying the enthusiasm of a fighter in the first round. He quickly challenges his opponent's views on defense, the environment, and education. Higher education, Wirth says, should be accessible to people, regardless of their financial circumstances. He says the government should provide more money for education. "I believe that everybody ought to have access to higher education," he says. "I strongly supported the student loan program, and Kramer has consistently voted to cut it." Wirth rejects the idea that educational assistance is too expensive. "Affordable programs - that's a buzzword for saying if you have a lot of money you can go on to higher education and if you don't, you can't. I think that's a point of view in this society, but it's wrongheaded. "If we don't have a well-educated population then we won't be able to survive in this competitive world," Wirth says. "Everybody ought to have a chance, whether they're rich or poor, black or brown or white. That's what this country's been all about. That's what the student loan programs and education's all about." Wirth notes the decline of political support for social programs in general, and says "It's terrible, it's terrible, it's wrong ... And then (Kramer) says he wants to spend a trillion dollars for Star Wars. It's ridiculous - a trillion
dollars."
Arms control has been a contentious subject throughout the campaign. The question has been whether or not arms control works. Wirth argues that it does. Ken Kramer says that arms control has been a dismal flop and failure. 'A dismal flop and failure' - his words. Is that true? Of course not. "The Atmospheric Test Ban Treaty stopped U:S from exploding nuclear devices in the atmosphere, which has kept radioactive fallout from the food chain. That was a major problem in the 50's and early 60's, and we solved it. That wasn't a dismal flop, that was a great success," Wirth says. "The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty - the United States and the Soviet Union have worked together to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of people like Khadafy and Khomeini, and it's worked." What the government needs to do now, Wirth says, is "take the next steps to much more significant, broader arms control." Wirth believes the government needs to adjust it's defense priorities. "Why do we have to build two manned bombers,'' he asks, "when we only need one. Why build the B-1 and the Stealth? You don't go into a restaurant and order everything on the menu, you pick and choose," unless, he says, "you're a military, industrial contractor, then, you'd love to have everything ordered off the menu." Wirth challenges the idea that defense spending is beyond reproach. "It's as if spending money on student loans is spending, but spending money on toilet seats, coffee pots and MX's isn't spending," he says. "It's a warped
"Eisenhower told us to beware of the military/ industrial complex. That was Dwight Eisenhower and he was right.,, -Tim Wirth
view of the world," he adds. "In the last five years we've spent more money on research on the MX missile than we did on research on how to modernize the steel industry. That is a crazy priority." Wirth feels the government should be concentrating on "quality of life issues," such as water, air, and the environment in general. "My opponent," he says, "has voted to dismantle the Clean Air Act. He's one of the crazies with Watt, Gorsuch, and Company. I don't think people in Colorado want to dismantle the Clean Air Act. I don't think they want to sell the national forests. I think they want to maintain clean water, they want to
maintain the quality of life that we've had here. This guy (Kramer} has got a disgraceful record on the environment." Wirth says he belongs to a group of people in the Democratic Party "who went through the protest of Vietnam, the assasinations of Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King, Jr., the riots in the country, and the civil rights marches." He says their political views were formed in that era. "We are now the people who have the responsibility of maintaining the civil part of the American Dream," he says, "and not letting it get sacrificed to the new right." D

Colorado ~as a specific problem - a need for a governor with realistic solutions both to immediate and long term problems. That man is Roy Romer. As Romer and Republican opponent Ted Strickland debated Colorado's problems, it was Romer who proposed detailed solutions to these problems. From the beginning of the race, Romer has dictated the pace by introducing new ways to solve the old problems of unemployemnt, a sluggish economy and concerns for higher education. Strickland has approached these issues too - but apprehensively and without much detail. Unemployment in Colorado rises one-tenth-of-one percent monthly. Romer has agreed to take action 30 days after b eing elected by meeting with business leaders from communities all around Colorado to discuss new ways to create jobs. He is willing to work together with these leaders rather than issue directives for them to follow. Strickland's proposal calls for recruiting new businesses from outside Colorado. We need to start at home first. Romer has also outlined specific plans to get Colorado's slow economy b ack on track. He plans to increase tourism traffic by providing tourists with detailed information about where to go and what to see in Colorado. He says tourists spend two-and-a-half more days here when they have detailed information. Romer's plans to increase tourism also include a new airport, which would bring international tourist dollars into Colorado as well.
Romer, a native of Holly, Colorado, located on the eastern plain with a population of 900, would also negotiate with employers to dispense available jobs all over Colorado, bolstering rural economies as well as the economies in large metropolitan areas. Education is another concern for Romer. He believes that by improving i:he quality of education in Colorado, more employers will be attracted to the State. Although Romer's ideas have had a significant impact on his success in the polls, the most impressive thing about his candidacy is his forthright and realistic approach. He admits that a state income tax increase will be necessary to fund new roads, water projects, a new prison facility, a new airport and higher education. Strickland has acknowledged a need for each project, but has failed to offer solutions regarding how he intends to provide full funding for them. Although both candidates agree that a gas tax increase of six-cents-a-gallon would be necessary to partially fund these projects, Strickland says he won't raise state income taxes but would broaden our tax base by having more business in Colorado to tax. This is interesting but unrealistic considering how long it would take to attract these new businesses. By that time, Colorado could be in big trouble economically. We need realistic solutions with detailed plans to fund these projects - not theories. As State Treasurer, Romer generated an extra $32 million for Colorado. Money doesn't just appear, it must be generated. Roy Romer understands this.

Lamm steps aside
Candidates step in mud
Sean-Michael Gilmore Columnist
I love autumn. It's so romantic and nostalgic. Especially during an election year. The leaves falling and the accusations flying. There is something so bittersweet about two politicians trying to decide who's the bigger liar. It's entertaining, too. I'm getting a big kick out of watching Tim Wirth and Ken Kramer going at it like a couple of junkyard dogs. Of course Pat Schroeder is just kicking back being Pat Schroeder.
Then there is the gubernatorial race. It's as sad as the coming snow. On one hand we have Roy Romer, a good ol' Colorado boy who's qualifications for the job include "former rancher and country pilot." On the other hand we have Ted Strickland. During an election which is coming to resemble the fight at the OK corral, Strickland has become top mudslinger. I'm already starting to miss Gover-
nor Lamm and it's not even January yet. I can't help it - I'm a fan of the man. I've been a hard line anarchist from my first day of preshool and I would rather listen to a Jehovah witness at the door than a politician. But during a time when political sincerity has become even more like the term military intelligence, I intuitively trust the man. Governor Lamm has often said that

if he looks good it is because he has surrounded himself with people that make him look that way. That may be true, but it still shows his skill at management (something Reagan brought to the presidency - unfortunately Reagan surrounded himself with the wrong people). Like his predecessor John Love, Lamm has brought a strong and identifiable leadership to Colorado. It's too bad that the oil bust and Colorado's rapid economic decline occured at a time when Lamm has decided to leave politics.

We could use him in the financial winter to come. Lamm is by no means the perfect f politician, but his ethics are in order.(I don't count the SEC's current · noninvestigation of his financial records or the Denver Post's attempt to make a headline out of a business blurb.) So he is in fairly good position to condemn the Strickland campaign for its tactics. • Lamm said the Strickland ad linking Romer with former radical Angela Davis moves the level of his campaign from "the gutter to the sewer". Strickland should have figured out that when you start slinging mud all you get is muddy, or in this case slimy.
I've been a hard line anarchist from my first day of preschool and I would rather listen to a ]ehovah witness at the door than a politician. But during a time when political sincerity has become even more like the term military intelligence, I intuitively trust the man. Lamm is not above criticizing the candidates in his own party. During the press conference last week at which Lamm condemned Strickland, he also stated he "was not happy with the tone of the Wirth, Kramer race". "Both campaigns have a degree of faults," Lamm said. Although Lamm didn't say it, I don't think either one of them deserves to be elected to public office. Romer, who tried a few mild attacks of his own at the beginning of his campaign, has called for a moratorium on the mudslinging. Strickland calls that hypocritical. He says Roy started it. I guess that means Strickland wants to finish it. · At least rancher Romer is trying to clean up the cow stuff in the campaign corral. That may qualify him as the only candidate who does deserve to be elected. By the way, Lamm will be leaving office in January to teach at Dartmouth College. You still have a chance to see him in action at the Denver Center Cinema. Lamm teaches his Hard Choices class there every Wednesday at 7:00 A.M. The public is welcome to attend. D

Politics What do we kn.o w? Robert Davis Editor
I don't know much about political campaigns. My political science teacher can attest to that. But it seems so obvious that given the opportunity - a politician would agree to halt negative advertising. Especially in front of TV cameras. But not Ted Strickland. After all, Ted's ace-in-the-hole Romer-is-aCommie ad was loaded and ready to start the day after Romer offered a truce. And Romer may have known the ad was coming. But how smart is Ted to stick with this mud-slinging? Has it really been cost-efficient? Has it paid off? On the surface it looks like it has. After the ad, Ted rose 12 points. But those who hate Ted now hate him a lot.
•
You don't have to be a political wizard to know mud-slinging is rarely popular with the intelligent consumer. But then, Ted doesn't need to waste his money on intelligent voters - they know too much. You would think he would have learned all that when he lost last time. When Lamm beat him, Strickland was comfortably ahead when, suddenly, he stuck his foot in his mouth. Somehow I can picture that. Now Ted $ays if we'll put him in the Governor's Mansion he11 see to it negative ads are outlawed. Oh brother . Maybe he'll make it illegal for the governor to make a jerk of himself. It will be mandatory to laugh at his stupid jokes and if he dribbles spaghetti sauce down his tie there will be a stiff fine for anyone who chuckles. Thanks for stoppin' b y Ted .

PTA President puts Amendment 4 in perspective by Janet Corbin Like most people on this campus, I'm a person who has many roles. I'm a wife and a mother of schoolage children. I'm a working adult who struggles to pay the bills for the home I own and maintain. I pay taxes to maintain the public environment that the state must provide. I'm both a student and a teacher; I value the education I receive and impart, and I'm a voting citizen who wants to have some voice in the laws that are passed and that I must live with. It was in the context of being a student and a teacher that I first heard of Amendment 4 and its possible negative effects on my childrens' education, but it is clear that it may have negative effects on all these roles. As president of the PTA at my son's elementary school, I was already aware of the financial crisis burdening today's public schools. No longer does the PTA raise funds for the trivial - a new slide or basketball hoop. Instead we buy the school necessities like instructional supplies. In this environment I do what I can to encourage the state school board to do more for the schools. Amendment 4 introduces strong possibilities that, instead, even more will be taken away from the schools. Because any tax increase will have to be taken to the general populace every two years, because the school systems do not have the funds to advertise and educate that populace about their needs, and because the school systems are already desperate for additional funds, Amendment 4 poses a potential disaster for Colorado's public education. Without a means for raising funds at a time of increasing enrollment, schools can only become more crowded, while some schools may have to close for lack of funds. Those schools that remain open will have less to offer their students in the way of textbooks and supplies. Finally, good teachers who, because of poor salary are already hard to attract and hold, may have to face further cuts in pay. Denied both adequate wages and the environment and supplies they need to do a good job, those teachers will have few reasons to continue work in the field of education. I know that not all who read this are parents - you don't all care about the quality of education at an elementary scliool, but you do care about the quality of education you are receiving at one of Colorado's colleges. In order for Metro, UCD or CCD to continue offering quality education, those institutions must face the same increasing costs of supplies and personnel that every other industry faces. Presently, without Amendment 4, they have two means of meeting those increasing costs: They can go to
Sound philosophy . Crumbles in reality the legislature to ask for more funds, or they can increase students fees . Amendment 4 denies the legislature the means of providing those additional funds without going through the process of asking the general populace every two years. Therefore it will be far easier and more likely that those schools will use the other means available to them which means we will all have to pay a lot more for our education - in fact, as much as a private college might charge since both public and private schools will then be using the same means to generate their needed income. There are many good reasons to attend a state-supported school, one of which is the greatly decreased cost as compared to a privately operated school, but Amendment 4 threatens that advantage. For me personally, that means it
The general principle that any increase in funds generated through taxes must be voted on by the general populace every two years means that none of the entities operated with state funds will be safe from the cuts necessitated by the tightening fund structure. For example, my house is burning down and I call the fire department - unless they have had the approval of the voters, they will have to ask me to pay them hefty fee for the privilege of using their services. The same could happen if I want my road plowed or sanded in the winter, or if I want the police to protect my neighborhood. The value of my house depreciates because of the increased cost of services. Additionally, in a state in which many key industries, including oil, high-tech, and airline companies are already struggling, and which des-
No longer does the PTA raise funds for the trivial - a new slide or basketball hoop. Instead we buy the school necessities like instructional supplies . Amendment 4 introduces strong possibilities that instead, even more will be taken away from the schools. would be much more difficult, maybe even impossible, to continue my education. The other side of Amendment 4 for college students is, of course, what will happen if the colleges can't sufficiently generate the fees they need. When income isn't available, quality must be cut. That could take many forms, including loss of faculty, reduction of their salary, cutting out departments that attract fewer students, even merging schools. It is impossible to predict what decisions the schools and the legislature might make, but none of these choices will allow the same quality and diversity that we all expect from our schools. Amendment 4 has the potential of doing a Jot of damage to all parts of Colorado's educational system, but this is a small part of its potential effects.
perately needs to attract new companies in order to provide enough jobs for citizens. Amendment 4 may very well put a "closed for business" sign on Colorado because industries will not be attracted to a state in which education and services have been so adversely impacted. Jobs available may continue to decline at the same time that services available to the unemployed are being cut. Finally, Amendment 4 frightens me as a homeowner because of the threats it poses in situations of disaster. Colorado has no fund for emergencies such as major floods, fires, tornados, blizzards, etc. That means that if Amendment 4 were passed and a disaster occured at a time when our two-year opportunity to vote on funds was not imminent, there would be no funds available to repair or rebuild bridges, roads, or state aper-
ated buildings, not to mention the funds needed to pay for overtime work by snowplow or equipment operators, police or firefighters,or. other necessary personnel. In spite of all of the negative effects that I have discussed as possible outcomes of the passage of Amendment 4, it still seems that, as a voter who would like to have some control over the way taxes are spent, I might find ~ the philosophy of Amendment 4 appealing. Instead I find it intimidating. Currently, we trust those whom we have elected to educate themselves on the needs of each and every group who depend on the state for money, • and to make the choices between the groups regarding who actually needs money, as well as how much each needs, all within the constraints of current levels of revenue. Amendment 4 requires that we take on the responsibility to make those decisions. • Yet I don't have the resources or the time to educate myself fully on each and every issue. I can't responsibly make the number of objective decisions Amendment 4 would ask me to n:iake. Instead of gaining greater control I • am losing the control I now have. Ironically, Amendment 4 puts us all back into a state similar to that of the early American colonists who had no control over their taxation, and who • demanded taxation only with representation. By choosing their own representatives and by then communicating their wants and needs to those representatives, they did gain some control over their taxes. Amendment 4 may put the control that was meant for the voters even further from their reach because it is written so poorly. 'It will have to be clarified and defined by the courts. Essentially, this means that a judge will tell us what it is that we have voted on in Amendment 4 - neither the voters, nor the legislators will have the control, but instead it will all lie in the hands of the courts. The advocates of Amendment 4 will tell you that none of these catastrophic effects I have described may happen at all. I can't argue that point because they are right: No one really knows what will happen if Amendment 4 is passed. It is a mystery to all - both opponents and proponents can only guess what might happen. No other state has passed legislation this strong and far-reaching. This fact alone is as compelling as my gloomy guesses of the possibilities. What sense does it make to experimentally amend our state constitution? As a responsible voter, I want to know the effects of the legislation I put into action before they occur. I certainly don't want to find out when it's too late to change my mind. We may need to change the ways we .are taxed and amounts we are taxed, not to mention the ways those taxes are used, but this is not the way to do it. Please vote no on Amendment 4.

Amendment4
Citizen wants representation, not control over taxation Editor: Like most of my neighbors and friends I am concerned about the quality of life in my community. Good schools, adequate roads, clean air, beautiful parks, excellent fire protection and law enforcement are all important values to me, but to tell the truth I do not regularly attend public meetings. I have never made a trip to the local fire station to check on the quality of the equipment, nor have I made it a point to examine drainage problems in my local park. I expect my local library to have any book, or record, or magazine that I may wish to use, but I never so much as drop a note in the suggestion box. Like most of my neighbors and friends, I have responsibilities to my family, my employer, my church, my homeowners' association, and these take most of my time. So, like my friends and neighbors, I go to the polls regularly to choose
another person to represent me on most important issues. This representative takes the time to examine these issues, when I simply can't. He or she weighs the data, considers alternatives, and makes responsible choices. In this way, I know that my interests are protected. If Amendment 4 passes, the assumption is that my neighbors, my friends, and I will suddenly find the time to make careful examinations of all issues that are important to us. However, as modern living becomes more complicated and demanding, this is less and less likely. I am now asking my friends, my neighbors, and all Colorado residents to protect our quality of life, and join me in voting NO on Amendment 4 on November 4th. Sincerely, Larry Rose Aurora
Senator throws stones at Met for breaking sticks Editor: I was asked to write a response to your recent impeachment story, with the analysis (or editorial) into the minds of Student Government attached to it. While we do not fault you in reporting the story, we do find fault in bow it was reported. You handled the matter in a very unprofessional, fairy tale manner. Your major source (Linda Madonna) was made out to be a sweet red-faced little lamb for resigning after having broken all the rules. The Big bad Steve Brame is the wolf for seeking his right to a fair trial. Student Government did do the right thing when it found out, and turned the matter over to the Judicial Board. Yet we're guilty? The matter is up to the Judicial Board to decide. Your implication that what is true of the part (senator) is true of the whole
(senate) is a fallacy of composition: If a person can break one stick, then another one, then still another one, does that mean that individual can break the bundle of sticks as a whole? Probably not. The whole, as the old saying bas it, is more than the sum of its parts. Student Government is a group of students active in trying to provide representation to a very diverse group of students. It is not a small wonder that its members are as different, nor are we all as pure· as The Metropolitan staff. Student Government needs your imput to be effective, and. we encourage it. We just ask that you try to be a little less dramatic. ASMSC Senator Brendan M. Kelly
Athlete assails editor Let's talk sports
Editor Robert Davis
Campus Editor Lisa Arndt
Editor: There seems to be controversy on the non-existent sports page. ·can We Talk? The controversy is definitely not whether a sports page is needed and wanted by the student/faculty population. Look around this sp'orts-loving society: after the recent Iceland peace talks failed, the leading news story in Denver was the Broncos! The rumor through the paper is that the editor has a personal vendetta against athletics, because they received an increased budget while the paper had to make cut-backs. Hey Bob, sounds like a personal problem to me! Is our paper a dictatorship or a dem!>cracy as it should be? You might have a valid point, but pretending athletics does not exist is only going to create enemies not help your cause. This political tug-of-war bas eliminated our sports page and thus a good percentage of your readers. Good thing you're not out for a profit or Bob might be out of a job! So wake up to reality and let's have a real pal>er! Hollynd Hoskins Women's Soccer Team P.S. For those readers wondering about Metro's Division II Nationally-ranked women's soccer team, tune in to the Rocky Mountain News.

State wants cooperation collecting parking fines by Carol Buck 'f.he state auditor's office has recommended that MSC, CCD and UCO cooperate with the Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) in collecting parking fine~ by prohibiting registration, transcript processing and graduation of students with outstanding citations. The recommendation was made to the AHEC board of directors Oct. 13, based on figures contained in a May, 1986 audit report. According to the report, Auraria had $1,188,092 in outstanding parking fines from mid-1982 through April, 1986. This figure represents approximately $264,000 per year in unpaid citations. AHEC collects about $150,000 per year, or 36 percent of fines outstanding. Currently, AHEC turns unpaid citations over to the state for collection after 90 days, according to Robert
Thompson , assistant director of parking. The parking office also denies permit and decal purchases to those with unpaid fines, and ~"ill tow or boot a vehicle with three or more unpaid citations. Even so, only about one out of every three parking tickets issued is ever paid, Thompson said. The state auditor's report states that even a 10 percent improvement in fine collection would realize about $25,000 per year for AHEC. Thompson said the purpose of issuing parking citations is not to generate money, however. "Their purpose is not for revenue," he said, "but to provide an orderly parking process." He said that prohibiting students from registering might make them more conscientious about paying their fines, which would enhance the overall continued on page 11
Registration starts Nov. 3
Reach out and register -P!:
by Steve Irick More than 50 percent of the students attending MSC this semester did not register by telephone and officials are hoping to change that for spring registration. According to Ken Curtis, associate vice president and dean of admissions and records at MSC, approximately 7,000 students did not use the telephone registration system for the fall semester, and used mail-in registration instead. "For all intents and purposes, mail-
and discovered that many of them had apprehensive feelings about using telephone registration," Rodriguez said. To eliminate this problem, Rodriguez said that a practice telephone registration program has been installed into the system. "We're hoping to make this practice registration decrease student's apprehension and help them to recognize how simple and effective it is to register by telephone," Rodriguez said.
"For all intents and purposes, mail-in registration is dead.,, Ken Curtis Associate Vice President and Dean of Admissions and Records in registration is dead," Curtis said. "For so many years we've relied on walk-in registration and said it was the best way to register," Al Rodriguez, assistant dean of admissions and records said. "Now we_are changing to teleph?,ne registration which is much better. Students are encouraged to use telephone registration for spring '87 registration, according to admissions officials, though many don't like the idea. "We have been talking with students
The system is currently in operation and will be running through the registration period. â&#x20AC;˘ "We used the program last spring and had good results," Rodriguez said. "This year we've made a few changes which will improve it and we feel very confident that it will help students." Telephone registration begins Nov. 3 for students over 20 years old. Those 19 and under must wait until Nov. 24 unless they receive faculty advising. Mail-in registration forms will not be processed until Dec. 18. D
Bonib scare breaks Auraria Public Safety officers peeked into garbage cans, rummaged through utility closets and scanned empty classrooms in the Physical Education Building Oct. 24. after an unidentified man phoned a bomb threat into th e Denver Police D epartment. No explosives were found, but students in seven classrooms were given an unexpected study break at about lOa.m. "We just inform people and given them the option of leaving," said Ann McKelvey, assistant director of Campus Recreation. According to David Rivera, director of Auraria Public Safety, the threat was phoned into the Denver Police Department at 9:54 a.m. and relayed immediately to Auraria Public Safety.

A week~s worth of loot by Shelly Barr Ainong articles reported stolen on campus last week \Vere a photo mural, a purse and a telephone. A "Rock and Roll Time Tunnel" photo display, worth about $6,500, was stolen from the Student Center Oct. 22, according to the Denver Police Department, where it was on display outside the game room. The police report stated that officers are unsure how some one could have just walked off with the display, which measured about 8 feet by 12 feet and weighed about 110 pounds. Alan Chimento, special events coordinator for Student Activities, said the mural, property of Brian Winthrop International, Ltd., has been stolen 12 times at other campuses, but was usually recovered. Student Jennifer Wild said she fell asleep for about an hour in the library Oct. 22 and awoke to find her purse missing. Wild reported the worth of the personal possessions inside the purse to be about $47, according to Auraria Public Safety.
Lt. Nora Cavelli of Public Safety said this type of crime occurs frequently. She warns students to keep valuables in sight and not to become so engrossed in studying that they lose contact with things around them. "You don't realize how much you tune things out when you're studying," Cavelli said. "It makes easy pickings for the criminal." Similarly, MSC student government did not keep a close enough watch on its telephone. Associated Students of Metropolitan State College (ASMSC) reported a beige AT&T telephone missing Oct. 20 from room #341 in the Student Center. The crime reportedly occurred between 5 p .m. Oct. 19 and noon Oct. 20. Cavelli said this type of theft is also common. "We have lost maybe one-half dozen telephones this last year," Cavelli said, adding that_the thefts typically take place in offices like Student Government, where there is a lot of in-and-out traffic. o

Decrying the "selfish appeal in the age of Reagan," Gary Hart spoke Tuesday on behalf of fellow Democrat Tim Wirth, who seeks to fill Hart's soon to be vacated Senate seat. Addressing 70 - 80 students in the St. Francis lounge, Hart called Wirth "one of the best congressmen in the last decade,'' and said Wirth has spent his congressional tenure building consensus, "leaving partisan ideology aside, he has not sought to polarize." Invoking the memory of John Kennedy, Hart spoke of a patriotism which must be earned, and said "patriotism has been trivialized by this president (Reagan)" with banners and balloons and songs. Saying he would endorse Wirth even if he weren't "a fellow Democrat and a personal friend,'' Hart insisted he was campaigning for Tuesday, Nov. 4, and not for 1988. Asked why Wirth was qualified to fill Hart's seat, the Senator replied, "because he's smarter than I am." In a final partisan jab, Hart encouraged "those of you not devastated by Reaganomics (to) write out a small check 0 for Tim Wirth."

A student government senator, in an interview he requested with a Metropolitan reporter, apologized for embarrassing the Associated Students of Metropolitan State College (ASMSC) student government and said confusion A reigned over Club Affairs Committee (CAC) procedures at the time he held as questionable impromptu meeting with another senator. Senator Stephen Brame said, "No one knew which rules to play by" when be and former senator Linda+ Madonna met as the CAC and approved $1,978 in funding for three clubs. New CAC bylaws, written by Brame, have since been approved by the Senate. CAC chairman Barry Fisch said he cancelled the official meeting Sept. 9 and was unaware another was4 held several hours later. Madonna resigned on Oct. 8 and charged Brame with holding an illegal meeting, failing to obtain Senate approval for club funding requests and signing the requests as CAC chairman in place of Fisch. " But Brame said former CAC bylaws "don't say who signs what" or stipulate Senate approval of funding requests, a position disputed by several senators and Madonna. He also said ASMSC President Mark Gerhart's signature bad. previously been the only signature required to validate funding requests. Gerhart signed one of the club's requests and later said he thought it was for an unrelated conference to Boston. "That's an out-and-out lie," Brame' said. "At that time, the Boston trip bad not even come up before the student Senate." Brame said be regrets Madonna bas "gone on a guilt trip" and resigned over her part in the unofficial meeting. ..J "We need people who care enough to go to the meetings and help with what's going on. The Senate wasn't meeting and clubs shouldn't have to suffer because the Senate couldn't get together." One of the club requests Madonna' and Brame approved was $1,068 for four Auraria Lesbian and Gay Alliance (ALAGA) members to attend an event in San Francisco, but only three people - including Brame and a non-student -actually went. Brame said the fourth student had to... cancel suddenly. "All the papers have been filed to return that money," he said. The non-student, he said, attended MSC for several years, until last semester, and planned to return ne~ semester, when be would share the trip experience organizing a Pridefest '87 event on campus. But ASMSC Vice President Gina Howe said intent is beside the point. "We won't (knowingly) fund a trip for a non-MSC student. They are th~ ones paying," she said. D

"The key word here is 'request,' " Thompson said. "What we request and what we receive are two different things. Hopefully, the state audit will change that." Whether or not the three schools will cooperate with AHEC in parking fine collection remains to be seen.

Auraria Lesbian and Gay Alliance (ALASA) has washed its hands of a student government senator because of his questionable methods of obtaining ALAGA funds, including forging a signature on a bank signature card and about $1,000 worth of withdrawal slips. ALAGA co-chairperson Chris Westin said that during last summer's Gay Pride event on campus, Stephen Brame, used the signature card, requiring the president's and co-chairperson's signatures, to write checks and withdraw cash to pay for the event. "He resigned as president before we could kick him out," Westin said. "We've taken his name off everything." Brame said he was not ousted, but stepped down. "Only four people showed up at the (September) meeting," he said. "I decided there was not enough interest." Westin said that over the summer Brame had appointed himself president and her co-chairperson, even though she was not active in the club during that time. "I didn't even know I was coch:iirperson until rd been back in
school for a couple of weeks," she said. Brame said she was told of her election at a party last May, but never came around to sign the signature card. "I signed her name so we could get to the bank," he said. "I had to get some transactions done for June. There was no criminal intent." Westin has sought legal council and filed a complaint with the administration. She said she doubts all the money went to pay for the event. "If it were legitimate, he could have found someone else to sign," she said. Brame said ALAGA has already been tainted by its former president's actions, Westin said. "Now, the club's just barely there" she said. "People who were on~e really into it now say, 'Forget it. I don't want to pull my good name down.' " Brame told ALAGA they can't prosecute him because he is leaving for Boulder next semester, Westin said, but club members have contacted that school. "We've told them, 'Watch out- he's coming'." o

Carnival Creeps A dramatic distortion of humanity
..
•
by Bob Haas
Jamie Horton as Sweeney in The World of Mirth
A macabre vision of human aspirations and human failures, The World of Mirth opens the season in The Source at the DCTC. Set in a carnival backlot, the stage is peopled by freaks and losers, by lurid secrets and by petty betrayals. The play centers around a clown in a cage - a cackling, acerbic-tongued wretch who has given up on life, on his fellows and on himself. Jamie Horton plays Sweeney, the clown who provokes carnival patrons to pay a quarter and dunk him in filthy water. His verbal taunting has taken on a personal and putrid nature since the suicide of his friend, Oscar the deformed Frog Boy. _ Oscar drowned himself in Sweeney's tank.after some handicapped visitors to the carnival suggested that he was being exploited, that his carnival act had robbed him of his dignity. This
death, and the unfeeling reaction of his • fellows, transforms Sweeney into the classic model of the fool - he speaks in lilting rhyme about the dark truths concerning human nature. His ugly jeers cause problems for the already troubled carnival, and the other characters are weary of Sweeney's • narcissistic taunts - verbal abuse aimed at forcing them to maintain the integrity of their humanity. Horton is impressive as Sweeney. He's angry and witty and a little bit mad. The performance is a quality addition to his portfolio of characters "' during his tenure at the DCTC. In fact, the entire cast is well controlled. The emotional explosions, fired by deep seated fears and desires, are contained and focused by director Peter Hackett so that, as bizarre as the characters might be, they never

..,_ become parodies of themselves. Caitlin O'Connell is a dark and sultry wild woman from Borneo. The role is a welcome broadening for a talented actress who has yet to tap her full potential with the company. DCTC newcomer Jim Baker gives an urgent :. pathos to the role of Patch, the carnival manager. Frank Georgianna plays Kaspar, the carnival owner. Kaspar is bigger and better than life .He · genuinely cares for his odd mixture of employees, and he affords the play an ,. element of healthy humanity. Georgianna is never overpowering, but a gentle confidence and strong voice give Kaspar remarkable dignity. Hackett pushes these actors, obtains a contained passion from them. Much like he did last season in The Petrified ~Forest, Hackett succeeds in drawing out a centering thread from the actors, so that the characters exude a powerful, unwavering identity. This is most apparent in the performance of Archie Smith, who plays the drug-addicted. simple-minded Emmett. Emmett is the carnival handyman. Patch keeps him supplied with drugs, and enough work to maintain his dignity. But when financial trouble comes, Emmett must either leave or take the job of the geek. Afterward, chicken ~ blood mixed on his clothes with mud, Emmett is enraged. A man shouldn't be made to do that kind of work, he says. When Sweeney encourages him to get mad, to fight for his dignity, Emmett is subdued. "I can't get mad," he says, "I got nowhere to go." Smith is wonderful as the broken innocent, as the epitome of the carnival macabre - that mix of deformed humanity and wanton mirth. · D-

- at least that's what we're supposed ~ to see in him, that's what the commercials say. He looks pretty good. But he's standing next to Ken Kramer. Gomer Pyle would look brilliant next to Kramer. Ken cemented the image of a lost retarded dog in my mind when he stood before hundreds of rich Republicans and couldn't remember the words to God Bless America. Singing off-key is one thing. Forgetting a line is another odd moment. But when you stand next to Ron Reagan with flags, banners, streamers, baloons, bands and national media you'd think Ken could pretend to know it. But he was completly lost. I mean, I couldn't hear him -obviously but his mouth moved different from everybody's when it moved at all. Didn't they make him learn it in elementary school? Admittedly, a singing patriot does not a politician make. But Reagan's jokes, compliments and proclamations stirred everyone - but Ken. Kramer laughed, nodded and applauded only after he saw others do so. He was completley lost. Of course, this is no reason to vote • against the guy. But it sure doesn't
u.~.
lend itself to a yes vote. These people are trying for positions with a lot of power and what can we tell about them? Swamped with 'Tm not slick" (No kidding. That was the most accurate ad for Kramer we could hope for. Too bad the guy who wrote it got " fired, we might have learned a lot more about Ken.) ads and loads of negative and manipulative messages, what can we tell. Before you decide whether these people can cut it or not, spend a couple of days at the capitol when things , get rolling again and watch the "action." It's ridiculous. Grown men sleeping on their desks while others argue facts fed to them by special interest groups - they're writing laws. ~ These guys will fit right in. But what are we going to do? Not vote? Don't do that. Voting is ALL we can do. o
