Student·senators vote to pay themselves -.

by Lisa Arndt

A dispute over paying a student politician April 1 ended strangely: the senators voted to pay themselves and ..., the other politician, and one senator resigned. Former senator Barry Fisch, who resigned April 7, and Senator Brendan Kelly, who introduced the legislation to pay the senators, though he will fight • it in the future, said they objected to paying Debbie Olenski, MSC's representative to the student advisory committee of the Consortium of State Colleges. Kelly said he made the motion to pay the 25 senators $100 per month for ~ 12 months to make a point. "H we're going to pay the trustee, we might as well pay them all," he said. "I figured they'd all go for it." Kelly said he is against paying the trustee for two reasons: the candidates run for the position with the under-> standing that it is an unpaid position, and the only requirement of a trustee is to attend one meeting of the Colorado Consortium of State Colleges per month. Furthermore, the Senate wanted to -;i pay Olenski retroactively to last May, when she began her term as trustee, Kelly said, though this action was voted down. In his letter of resignation, Fisch said the argument in favor of paying the trustee is that other consortium schools pay their student representatives. Fisch said this is a weak argument. "Any comparison is not valid because of the array of variables which are not common to the institutions," he said. He also said he does not think Olenski

MSC student trustee under fire will not speak on her behalf," Fisch said in his letter of resignation. "Our representative not only accepts this, but admits that most of the committee's conversations cannot be heard from the back of the room where she sits," the letter stated. Olenski said this is true, but not her fault. As Metro's student trustee, she is not a member of the Board of Trustees. Instead she sits on an advisory committee to the board. This committee elects one member to sit on the board as a student trustee and speak for all of them, she said. "I don't have the power to get up and interrupt the meeting," she said. "It's up to the student trustee whether · he says what I say." Her responsibility, she said, is to attend the meetings and "look over what the trustees are doing." Olenski said she has attended every

In response to accusations that she is not adequately doing her job, Metro's student trustee said she is doing everything she can, though her powers are limited. Senator Barry Fisch said he resigned April 7 because he objected to paying Debbie Olenski, the student trustee. "It's not paying the position I object to. It's paying her I object to," he said. Fisch said Olenski does not have a job description, and only has to attend the monthly meeting of the Consortium of State Colleges. The consortium consists of the Board of Trustees which oversees Metro and four other state colleges. And when she does attend the meetings, she does not express the viewpoints of Metro students and student government, Fisch said. "(Olenski) informed me that she is not allowed to address the committee and the (consortium) stu_d ent tr~tee

is as effective as she could be. "Not only is she not doing what we asked her to, she asked to get paid," he said. Fisch said the student government is not acting in the best interests of the students. "I honestly do not believe that the majority of the student population would vote for their fees to go to pay this," he said.

Don't pay them A week has passed, and no one from student government has said "April fools!" All we can do is groan and assume it's no joke. Last Wednesday, which just happened to be April Fools' Day, our elected student officials began discussing whether to pay the student trustee we elected last spring. While deciding the issue, our senators got a little sidetracked and decided to pay themselves. This could only sound logical to a politician. Senator Brendan Kelly who initiated this $30,000 budget increase, said he did it to make a point. Either the point was too deep to be obvious or dollar signs in the senators' eyes clouded their vision. More important than how this came about, though, is the following question: What do our student politicians really do for us? They've impeached and reappointed a slew of senators. The veteran senators (those who have served a month or more), tend to reach the "bureaucracy threshold" sooner than last semester, and like Barry Fisch, say "what's the use,'' as they walk out. Others just stop showing up for the meetings when they realize there are things in life that are more enjoyable and have more

meeting since her term began. She said she does have a job description and spends about 18 hours per week in the student government office. "I spend more time in the office than a lot of senators do," she said. In addition, Olenski said she frequently attends meetings and sits on a committee. "My job is getting done," she said. Student trustees of other consortium schools are also under fire. Olenski said the trustee from Western State College was almost impeached. The problem, she said, is the lack of information from the consortium. "They haven't given us all the information we can get.It's not .our fault," she said. "The trustees go into executive session a lot. They don't even let the student trustee in there," she said. "It's very unfair." D

lnner-:city inse~urity makes toy-gun cowboy by David Sneed Eight months ago I moved into the Capitol Hill area. Times were hip with the Capitol Hill i::apist and golf club massacres in full swing. I moved into a century old house and with every squeak of the old wooden floor I'd jump thinking that Manson had just got bail, or Hinkley was given leave to visit his parents. Needless to say I didn't sleep very well. I came to believe that a firearm would put an end to my insecurity. There was a time as kids that we could get away with anything. In those days one guy started something and next thing he had an army of kids marching to his cadence - doing and acting as he did. Toy guns hit our place somewhere between yo-yo's and model rockets. I was the second to own a revolving cap pistol, after the toughest dude in the neighborhood who lived across the street. Pretty soon everyone was chasing each other around the J,ouses and jumping out of bushes saying, 'Bang, you're dead.' We had such freedom to be kids and no one held that against us. Until one dill'·:·::::.:..;.

older and cap guns weren't enough. We needed something real. Anyway, I bought a beautiful, stainless steel Smith & Wesson .357 magnum. The gun did funny things to my ego. Before shooting at the range I'd dig up my most faded ragged looking pair of 50l's, scuffed up cowboy boots, and blue bandana. It wasn't long before I had the squinty eyes, and the slinking outlaw walk down pat. Its funny you know - the gun has provided me with a lot of opportunities. It's fun going to the range because I've met a lot of new guys that really enjoy shooting. We get together on Thursday nights to see who can knock 8 pins 2' off a table in the quickest amount of time. After all is said and done, I come home and clean it and wait until next 1bursday comes around. The gun has pretty much put an end to my Capitol Hill insecurities. The fear of getting robbed has pretty much gone with the wind. Ironically, too, it's led me to meet some new friends that I wouldn't have met oth- ~ erwise.

Records topple in Roadrunner victories Record set with 10 consecutive wins by Robert Ritter

.. ;

The Metro State baseball team continued its record setting season with two victories Tuesday over the Colorado School of Mines, which extended its winning streak to a school-record 10 games . The Roadrunners also have broken single-game records for most hits (31), most runs (32) and most doubles (9) this season. Against CSM, third baseman Doug Montgomery's single, triple and three RBl's carried Metro to a 6-5 win in the opener. Dave Snow, 3-2, struck out 12 batters and allowed nine hits while going the distance. In the nightcap, four Roadrunners knocked in three runs each in the 17-2 victory as the team collected 16 hits, including the new mark for most doubles. Torin Berge, Rusty Miller, Eric Vessey and Montgomery each batted in three runs and Berge hit safely in thtee of four at bats to continue his hot hitting. Berge hit .670 during the Metro win streak. Mike Nussbaum, 3-1, pitched four strong innings, giving up only three

Reader sees media monopoly Editor,

Three recent news articles and some personal study have posed the need for America to ask itself this question: To what extent are society's Power Brokers (i.e. banks, corporations, and other forms of big business) controlling, directing, and taking advantage of our personal values, beliefs, and thoughts? In a 3-29-87 Post article, the ex-director of Colorado Community Corrections, Roger Lauen, suggested that financial institutions are largely behind the recent outcry for stricter criminal sentences, resulting in the present crisis of overcrowding and expense. This is despite the fact that the prevailing evidence proves the ineffectiveness of building more prisions toward reducing crime rates, and that rampant crime and the dangerousness of most criminals are myths perpetuated by you-guess-who. The 4-3-87 Post wrote that Ralph Nader stated that the insurance availability and rate.crisis was a "hoax" directed toward maximizing profits for that industry. The public was "duped" into believing big court judgments were to blame. He also added how we are being "programmed" in school to fit into the corporate mold of unthinking and unquestioning acceptance of, and inaction on, vital social issues. And in VERDICTS ON LA WYERS, Mr. Nader stated how even our political and legal systems, our laws and our courts, are set up to the benefit of the upper l~ of the population, to oppress the innocent and the poor. The same week of the Post articles, Up The Creek told how Community Development Block Grants are mostly going into the pockets of the middle-class rather than to those they were intended for. It seems that the major difference between the "haves" and the "have nots" is the willingness and ability to lie, hurt, manipulate, and take advantage of your fellow man's naivety. The injustice is that only the poor go to prison when they are caught following this apparent part of human nature. Finally, add media critic Ben Bagdikian's statements in THE MEDIA M0 N 0 POLY that American media is owned and controlled by some 50 corporations, with various conflicting special interests, and you can see how easily public opinion and sympathy can be manipulated and stifled. It is no wonder America has so many problems and so much dissatisfaction, when the real issues are being hidden beneath distraction, confusion tactics, and misinformation. Too often the voice of the powerful becomes the voice of the many. Wake up , America! You are being sheep-herded. For those of us who could already see that present social remedies tend more to aggravate than solve our problems, we now have the reason behind it - more poverty and crime means big business for certain segments of society who survive by taking advantage of

Magelli kicks Metro from nest? Last Spring, at the end of Paul Magelli's first year as president of Metro - a tough year of transition and reorganization - rumors clouded the front page of The Metropolitan about the new leader going back to illinois. Now, at the end of his second year - which may have been more challenging than his first - the same talk is hitting the press again. Magelli is a finalist for the position of president at Parkland Community College in Champaign, Ill. Although the position at the two-year school would seem to be too slow for the quick-stepped Magelli, it would certainly be a break from the intense heat Magelli feels at the Metro helm. Magelli - whose fortune with the press couldn't buy a cup of cold coffee - refused to talk about his future because ''I've been burned too many times. You just have to understand me on this one." Magelli's staff continued working and said the reports don't interfere with the daily routine. Harry Gianneschi, vice president for Institutional Advancement, said assertive administrators like Magelli are nominated for open positions frequently, and some offers are too good to pass up. Gianneschi said Magelli ·may interview with three

...

schools a year as long as he's here. But the nagging question is what will happen to all the 'Follow me, I know where to take us' ideas if Magelli splits? It's easy to have faith in a powerful force like Magelli. It's easy to trust him in his judgment, and take a waitand-see attitude when you think he'll be around to see things through. But to take this young school to the brink of prosperity - promising to teach it to fly - and then to turn his back as it leaps into the future is hardly nurturing. When the search committee selected Magelli to guide this school through these important years, it was confident Magellfs enthusiasm would endure, would mold the fledgling, would help it soar. I don't know. Last year, Magelli's interview came during his negotiations with the trustees for a nice house. He was tired, he said, of living off of a skimpy residential budget and wanted a nice house. As those negotiations dragged, word leaked that Magelli was looking for a job. On April 10 the trustees will ask tough questions of Magelli and of his athletic program. If that's just coincidence, then life is funny that way. -RMD

Fingers in the money-pot - how 'bout a vote? Mid-terms, sunbathing students and the first pitch of the season. It must be allocation of student fees time. And what's happening this year? Well, not enough money to go around and everybody - including The Metropolitan - is looking for more than they got last year. So bow does the student committee that decides who gets what, decide who gets what? Simple: Eenie meenie minie mo. One might think that our student leaders would tap available resources to best represent the students' wishes when allocating student fees. One might want to think again. Last year's crop of allocators used a referendum to ask students where they wanted their fees spent. While the turnout was not great - this was before the days of more than one polling place - ·the response was documented and passed on to decision-makers. They must have thrown the copies out with their newspapers because the students' support for some programs and the lack of support for others has never been represented. Oh well. One reason the results have been ignored is that intercollegiate athletics didn't get much support. Another is that the voting process itself was viewed as confusing and some said it wasn't accurate.

•

In the list of support for student fee funded programs, athletics ranked next to last (the flight team was on the bottom) with 497 showing support and 346 not in favor of student fees paying for sports. The dead horse begins to groan to life, here. After the vote, the athletic supporters said the 500 who voted yes deserved a program and the students really did want athletics. In fact, attendance at the games - while not everything supporters bad in mind - was slightly up last season. But the question of true support must still be asked during the allocation season. If these people with the money are to have the best interest of students in mind, they should have a clear understanding of what those students really want. With athletics asking for a ton of money- $397,770 - and needing every penny of it if we ever want a winning season, what's a student rep to do? Why not a simple question to the students. Yes or No? Support is up. The team is established. The future is pretty clear. Why not ask and be done with it? Squabble over money and interpretation of numbers and who wants what program and who doesn't want that one only rains on the parade. This uncertainty has a way of blocking the sunny fun of Spring. -RMD

Trustees want athletics justification from Metro The report to Metro's governing board on the participation of colleges in intercollegiate athletics is out, and while it supports the role of sports in education, it asks for specific justification from Metro for NCAA partic..c.

ipation.

The task force report to the Colorado Consortium of State Colleges

says athletics is "intimately related to role and mission" of colleges. . While strongly supporting intercollegiate athletic programs in Colorado's colleges, it "does not consider that such activity should be at the highest competitive level, but rather at a level compatible with similar institutions." The report singled out Metro by affirming "its policy that NCAA-

Division I status is not appropriate for Metropolitan State College. Metropolitan State College is requested to provide a rationale for continued affiliation with the Great Northwest Confererwe as well as citing the advantages and disadvantages of alternative conference affiliations or independent status (NCAA-Division II, NCAA-Division III, or ~AJA) . " •. .

- . . .. • .. . • • . • • •.• • • _- ...........

The report calls for a policy-making board consisting of student and faculty to advise the college administration on the allocation of student fees to support the athletics program. The report will be discussed at the April 10 meeting of the trustees in Gunnison.

Editor, We are a non-profit resource center organized in 1986 by physicians, nurses, and parents to provide up-to-date information on circumcision, America's . unique and leading unnecessary surgery. The U.S. is now the only Western or Eastern nation left in which over half of baby boys are still circumcised at birth without a medical or religious reason. Over 85 percent of the world's males are intact (non-circumcised). The surgery, which became popular in the U.S. after World War II, is slowly declining among the educated, especially since America's pediatric and obstetrical academics declared in the late 1970s that there is no health reason to subject infants to this painful surgery. In recent months we have received many letters from American males who are dissatisfied with their circumcisions and who have sought medical advice from us on foreskin restoration. The problems range from surgical scars to tightness and pain to sexual dysfunction because of the loss of the protective foreskin. Because these problems may be more widespread than previously thought, - - - - - - - - - - - - we are soliciting letters from your readers, either signed or anonymously, on the issue of circumcision. All responses will be held in the strictest medical confidence. Specifically, we ask: (1) describe problems which you believe are related to the fact that you are circumcised; (2) how old were you when you learned you had been circumcised; (3) how did you feel when you realized that part of your body was cut off; and (4) would you prefer to be intact and would you consider foreskin restoration if available to you? We also solicit comments. from intact males and females. This subject is sensitive and serious. Crank letters are not appreciated. Your responses should b e sent to N.O.C.I.R.C., 731 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, San Editor Anselmo, California 94960. Readers interested in learning more about circumRobert Davis cision should send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to that address. Campus Editor Sincerely, Lisa Arndt Marilyn F. Milos. R.N.

Guard finds academic

Sports Editor Robert Ritter Contributing Editor Sean-Michael Gilmore

security in night job by John T. Brubaker Wouldn't it be incredible if there were a job where students could study while getting paid? Dream on? But such a job does exist. Have you ever considered working as a security guard? You need no experience with police work; in fact, you need no experience, period. Many guards don't carry guns. Both men and women are being hired. Security seldom involves the silver screen stereotype of work in a riverfront warehouse. More likely, it will involve a desk on the ground floor of a skyscaper - securely locked at night and always warm. It was a lucky day when I rapped with a bored security guard. Yawning, she said, "I have just about nothin' to do. Some guards work, some don't. Night shift is about as slow as a job can get." · She mentioned one company which pays a little better than others. Many pay just minimum wage or little more. At the job interview, I explained, 'Tm going to college, and I want to work night shift, so I can use all that slow duty to research and write. I won't be sneaking off to sleep somewhere." Several weeks later they hired me. It's turned out even better than I could have hoped - the student's dream job, as good as a full scholarship. When I'm researching, I read a book a night. There are no television sets, no nagging mates, no screaming children, no household chores and no boozing friends to distract. Research proves a cheerful alternative to staring at the walls. Discipline becomes almost automatic. · · When you apply for a security job, just be up front. Tell them you are going to school and that you want a slow shift - like swing shift from 3 p.m. to 11 p .m. or graveyards from 11 p .m. to 7 a.m. Colorado campuses might consider using their influence to start some sort of unorthodox scholarship program with security companies. Or, more accurately, campuses might instigate a nonscholarship program that would have the same effect as a scholarship program. A Denver area program alone could graduate several hundred students per year. This could take a little pressure off already inadequate federal and state . loan and grant money. Because students could work full-time while attending college, they could cover all educational costs and graduate without the common $20,000 to $40,000 (and even larger) debt. Residents could eliminate debt 'and nonresidents could greatly reduce it. The campus would gain directly and the security company would gain from positive public relations and possibly from an improved grade of employee. A major educational program might b e born. What worked in Colorado would likely work anywhere in the United States. 0

by Rose Duhaime Students have it harder today than ever before, but they can still crusade for the advancement of justice, consumer rights advocate Ralph Nader 4 told a standing-room-only crowd in the_ Student Center last week. Nader said that unlike the '60s, when student activism was common, today's economic conditions make it harder for students to be active in civic movements. "There's rapid obsolescence," he said. "You may train yourself in something, then boom, it's gone." High unemployment and corporate pressures also inhibit student activism, Nader said. Students of the '60s could, take risks. Students "didn't have to worry about speaking out by day and worrying what the boss might say the next night," he said. Nader said that students are ideal for civic activism because they have assets . others don't have. "When you're young, you haven't been ground under ... You still have greater optimism," he said.

Students, facuity rally to change college name by Al Porter

. . ..

Let's see, Metropolitan? Colorado State? Already taken. Auraria State? Certainly not. How about Denver State College? That's it! The name of our school could be changed from Metropolitan State College to Denver State College if proponents of the issue have their way. "The name Metropolitan State does not reveal where the school is located," according to Professor Alan Freeman, of the Psychology Department. "The name is known locally, but once you get Qut of this area, nobody associates the name Metropolitan with Denver." Freeman, also a member of the faculty senate, said that in a survey of about 600 students last spring, 70 percent were in favor of the name change. "The name Metro is generic," he said. "Metro is used to refer to the railway systems in New York and Paris and the sewer systems in other cities. Plus, there are other schools in this country called Metro." Opponents of the change argue that changing the name would eliminate the school's tradition and be too costly. Plus, the school the alumni graduated

Denver State College Formerly ll.etropolitan State College The logo of the MSC name-change .committee. from would no longer exist. Student Senator John Bialik, however, said the alumni have wanted the name changed for 20 years. "On Oct. 23, 1968, students gathered to protest the name of the school," he said. "And the headline in the school paper read, 'Let's change the name of our school.'" The school's name is misleading, Bialik said. ''I've been asked several times if Metro was a two-year program by people who don't live in Denver, and it

ticks me off," he said. The costs involved in the issue revolve around having to change the school's official letterhead, signs on campus, and athletic uniforms. Also involved with the change would be changing the newly written school song, The Fire of MSC. "I talked to Marvin Hamlisch, and he told me that the name of the song could easily be changed to The Fire of DSC," Bialik said. "Hamlisch was aware of the name change issue, and said the reason why he only used the

initials of the school was so that the title of the song could be easily changed." Bialik and other students are planning a rally April 14at11:00 in Phillips Square, which is surrounded by the West Classromp building, Central Classroom building, the library and St. Elizabeth's. "This whole issue depends on bow much students really want the name to change," Freeman said. "If there is enough student support, I think it's possible. But if students are apathetic, it won't happen." Organizers of the rally are expecting a good turnout. "I think changing the name of this school would probably keep more students from transferring and reduce some of the embarrassment of saY,ing you attend Metro. There is a program for high school students whose grades and records make them less attractive to college recruiters. That program is called Metro," he said. Students and alumni would be able to receive a degree with the new college name on it for a fee of about $10. Supporters of the issue are hopeful that the change will take place before the beginning of the Fall 1987 semester. · O

Metro singers get off to shaky start by Robert Davis

.-r

·i

The Metro Chamber Choir was kicking off a big day in the history of the college when things got shaky. It was a performance before an invitation-only luncheon to honor Metro's latest alumnus, Marvin Hamlisch. In the middle of the choreographed show that paid tribute to Hamlisch with some "local versions" of a few of his famous songs, the singers started bumping into each other. As they danced, they kept hitting each other. From the back, audience members covered the grins and shook their heads. It looked like an amateur's nightmare. From the front row, Hamlisch recognized the problem. The mobile stage in the Moulin Rouge at the Fairmont Hotel was more mobile than expected and was rocking under the dancers' feet. Hamlisch, who had just received an honorary doctorate from Metro two hours before, got up to speak to the crowd after the performance. "Dr." Magelli told me this morning that this was going to be a moving experience, but I didn't expect this," Hamlisch said. "But I have to tell you that on the way over here Sidney (Shlenker) - he brought me over here in a van, by the way. The guy owns J McNichols and he brought me over here in a van - ht.: ~c:ured me the stage over there won't move tonight." The singers were un-fazed by the incident. Their day was just getting started. Seven hours later they would perform before a packed McNichols Arena crowd with Hamlisch and the Denver Symphony Orchestra. The choir is a group of professionalbound singers who look like the typical Metro cross-section. Mark Hutchinson, 32, a former bike messenger, was "waiting for the right time to go to school" until he enrolled at Metro two years ago. He said he has always enjoyed singing folk music and found occasional gigs in coffee houses and small bars. On this night, he'll play McNichols. "Before tonight the biggest gig I've ever done was the People's Fair at East High School," Hutchinson said. "This is big and polished." Hutchinson, a baritone, surveyed the rest of the choir sitting in the lower level of McNichols listening to the DSO rehearsal. "A lot of these kids are right out of high school," he said. "But take that one for example (pointing to David Cester, a baritone), he played harmonica for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. We have a wide range of experience, a real diverse crowd of people." Hutchinson, an education and music major, said he always wanted to go to Metro. "It's all right here," he said. "I want to graduate from here. It's the most intelligent thing for me to do." Katherine Gadeken, 19, is one of the s~dents who chose Metro while in hi_gh

turned it into Frosty the Snowman for a while." (Bass) Jamie Steelman, 43, says he loves the school song because it's unique. "It's a beautiful song," Steelman said.

"Other school songs are rah-rah-sisboom-bah. This is a dramatic song. "It's exciting for a small school like Metro, that has less money, to have something any school would be proud D to have."

It's not really a song 'til it's sung

•

by Robert Davis When Marvin Hamlisch met with the group that was to premier his latest song, there was work to do. A song isn't finished until someone other than the composer performs it, Hamlisch says. "To have it in your mind is one thing," Hamlisch says. "It reminds me of a tailor. He designs the suit, b ut until they bring it out and he refines it, it's not really done." Hamlish and the Metro Chamber Choir members begin the alterations in a Boettcher Hall rehearsal studio. studio. Hamlisch, the award-winning composer who penned 'The Fire of MSC,' plays the song as the choir sings. He lets them get all the way through before he begins the alteration process. "You're singing it lovely," Hamlisch assures the group. "But it's too polite." They move through the song quickly, making brief stops to add a note or delete a rest. Occasionally he gives some advice on how to please the audience. "One of the things that's important with this kind of song - I know it sounds corny - is to smile. I mean, if you look like you don't really want to be there, if it looks like, 'I would have preferred Yale,' i.t won't work." 'The song heats up to a crescendo in the middle, and Hamlisch reminds the choir what they're singing about. • "At that point, think of the

Marvin Hamlisch rehearses with the Denver Symphony Orchestra basketliall team," he says. "We can't be stopped. "It's not anymore about making a good sound at this point. Excuse me for saying so, but it's about a group of people saying this is a great place to be." Meanwhile, it's business as usual for Harry Gianneschi, vice president for

Institutional Advancement. He's in his 12th floor office that overlooks the campus and today he has an exceptional view of the snow-capped blue Rockies. After getting report OD the rehearsal, he reflects on the bumpy road that led to this big day for Metro. Metro. When The Metropolitan learned that Hamlisch was to write a school song last October, college officials decided to break the story to the local media. The release backfired on the college when reporters spoke with Hamlisch - then working on his musical, Smile - who denied any knowledge of Metro or the school song.

"You know, there were a couple of times when we sat down and said, 'We've had it with this.' We wanted to give it up a couple of times," Gianneschi says. "Then I thought, 'God dammit! We had it once, we're gonna get it back.' We could have tal$:en the egg on the face and said we learned something. I'm glad we didn't." Gianneschi said he did learn a lot from the experience. "I learned to push and keep pushing," he says. Persistence paid off by giving the college a song "with more feeling than glitter," Gianneschi says. "I think that's what Metro is more feeling than glitter. This school has more soul," Gianneschi says. D
