Metro AIBS policy awaits 路approval Robert Ritter Associate Editor

Metropolitan State College could soon have an official policy concerning students or employees who have contracted Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). A statement, written by Billi Mavromatis and Marilyn Helburg of the MSC Student Health Clinic recommending the school's handling 'of persons with AIDS, has been circulated among the vice presidents' offices, the faculty senate and the student government for review. After reactions from these offices, a final draft will be sent to the Colorado Attorney General's office and, if approved, the recommendation will become official policy. The recommendation states that because the "virus is not transmitted by casual contact ... individuals sharing common work or study areas, libraries, classrooms, recreational facilities, cafeterias and theaters do not present a problem or public health threat to the campus community." It continues: "Students or employees of Metropolitan State College who may become infected with the AIDS virus will

not be excluded from enrollment or employment or restricted in their access to campus services, or facilities unless medically based judgments in individual cases establish that exclusion or restriction is necessary to the welfare of the individual or of other members of the campus community." The recommendation also states that there will "be no mandatory screening of prospective or current students or employees for the AIDS virus." The proposal also calls for organization of an AIDS Review Board to be appointed by the president of the college. The board will hear individual cases which "require medical review by the college." The board will provide an opportunity for the individual in question to discuss his or her circumstances. It will then make recommendations to the president. A College Advisory Committee on AIDS will also be set up under the proposal's guidelines. The committee will consist of members from the Student Health Clinic, Student Activities, Student Affairs, Student Government, Student Publications, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance and Public Relations. According to the proposal, the committee "will recognize the importance of edu-

cation and work to develop an extensive educational program." Dr. Antonio Esquibel, vice president ot student affairs, said the study originated about a year and a half ago with the Student Affairs Council of the Consortium of State Colleges, Metro's governing body. Then last year a task force was set up at Metro, and in April the recommendation was drawn up. Mavromatis, assistant director of allied health, and Helburg, assistant director of medical health, modeled the proposal after similar policy statements from CU-Boulder and Colorado State University. Mavromatis stressed that the statement is simply a recommendation and that it was written not to prevent people from being able to attend Metro but to focus more on stopping the spread of AIDS. "Basically we're not trying to set up a policy to prohibit anyone from coming to school but to focus on the prevention of it (AIDS)," Mavromatis said. "Most important about this disease is the prevention of it. We need to have a more unified effort in preventing the disease." Esquibel said there are many questions that need to be answered before a final

draft can be produced and that is why he is waiting for reaction from the faculty and student government. "There are some unique issues that have to be looked at," Esquibel said. "How would an athlete be affected in participating in a sport?" Martin Norton, president of the Metro student government, said the recommendation needs to be clarified in depth before any more steps are taken toward making it school policy. And students at Metro should be actively involved in determining the school's AIDS policy. "Before we ratify something like this, there should be more communication. AIDS is something we need to address as students. Our ignorance is our greatest enemy." Norton said. "We need to squash our fears of it. We need more student input on it." Esquibel said after there has been reaction from all concerned, a final draft will be drawn up. If there are no legal problems according to the state Attorney General's office, the proposal will come back to the president's office for final approval. The policy could be final by mid semester, Esquibel said. o

----NEWS---Campus cable station draws ACES Students needed to help in many areas Joan Davies Reporter Auraria Cable Entertainment for Students (ACES) is under new management this semester, and students can expect to see some changes in programming. Although ACES has been in operation since January, Owen Beaver, the new general manager, admitted it hasn' t really produced much yet, but he has higher aspiration for the future. "This is by students for students. I need students who'd like to do an internship or volunteer. They'll run camera, floor direct, produce ... they can learn here and be able to go somewhere else and know how to run the equipment," Beaver said. What can students who tune in to Channel 28 on campus expect to see? Mostly information or entertainment. Besides locally produced programs, ACES also airs programs provided by NASA and Hollywood and Film Comm in Chicago as well as the National College Television in California, of which ACES will be an affiliate. Programs from NCT are transmitte'd by satellite. "I was hired by AHEC to get programs on the air Monday through Friday. It doesn't matter how long they air each day," Beaver said. He wants to air programs from 7 a.m. - 10 p .m., which are the campus lounge operating hours. ''The purpose is to get more information out about what's happening on campus," he said. In addition to airing programs, ACES also videotapes special events or guest speakers. "The education department has a guest speaker coming and we're taping it, so the department can show the tape in the future instead of having the speaker come again," Beaver said. These videos will not necessarily be aired. Other members of the ACES team, Darron Campbell, Ben Boltz and Thom Skrtich,

·are preparing to produce this semester's programs, which are for and about Auraria students attending Universit y of Colorado-Denver, Metropolitan State College and Community College of Denver. The Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) is the driving force behind ACES. Before Beaver became general manager, Boltz ran ACES - for free.

either, so Auraria's two other campuses became involved as well. "AHEC has the statutory authority over the facility," Boltz said, as an explanation of AHEC's involvement. He added that working under AHEC will be good for ACES. "Under AHEC, we are responsible to the students, not the administration," he said. Boltz is now being paid for working with

"He got it rolling," Beaver said. "But it takes so much time and energy and }ie wasn't getting paid for it. The reason AHEC got in on it was because it wasn't up and running, and they decided to pay someone to get it up and running." But Boltz explained there's more to AHEC's involvement than that. "It was the request of the students that AHEC get involved," he said. ACES, originally known as ASTRO (Auraria Student Telecommunication and Radio Organization), was run exclusively by Metro State. But ASTRO was very unorganized and was not getting the support it needed, Boltz said. "Dr. Magelli was not willing to Jet us take risks like select programming. Who was going to decide what was ethical to transmit? He wasn't willing to let students have their say, but Auraria decided, 'Why not?'" Boltz explained. At the same time, funding for the organization wasn't getting full support a a a u

ACES, although he only plans to stay long enoug}\ to see ACES a little more secure. But he doesn't regret spending three and a half years building ACES up to what it is now. "We've been trying to get a mass communications system going for years, but couldn't. Now we have something," Boltz explained. The ball is in Beaver's hands now and he has some goals he'd like to reach. "We have a fairly large budget, so I'm hoping to build up," Beaver said. He has been busy accumulating used equipment and trying to recruit students to work for him. For the present, his goal is simple. "If I can acquire all kinds of TV equipment and if I can get the radio up and running, I'll be happy," he said. Beaver would also like a studio for production. "The Media Center (in the library) won't let us use the one in there. I hope to improve relations with them and maybe a

use it part-time." According to Boltz, Studio B in the Media Center should be available for use from 5 p.m. - 8 a.m. Monday through Friday in the future as a community access studio for Mile Hi Cablevision. Boltz also said the campus will eventually have two higher education access channels. "We're now in the final stages of wiring the student center for cable," Beaver explained. ACES is an independent organization and has complete control over what it airs. Currently, airing is restricted to the campus only: signals are sent from ACES' production room in the Student Center to the library's Media Center and then transmitted on campus. With the cooperation of Mile Hi Cablevision, Beaver hopes to air programs in the Denver area as well. Because ACES acts independently from the Media Center, which airs the programs, Boltz said ACES accepts responsibility for what it airs. "If we were to show a program we were not allowed to show, because of copyright laws, and the Media Center gets sued for it, we have an agreement that we will take responsibility for it, not the Media Center," Boltz explained. He added that ACES is also seeking an agreement with the Media Center to use the center's satellite dish for programs if necessary. Since all three colleges are involved in ACES, Beaver has a big project to complete. He said he needs input from students as well as staff. Students are welcome to call him at 5563327 or 556-3316 or stop by room 351A in the Student Center. What Beaver lacks right now in staff and equipment, he makes up for in optimism. "I hope to get something going and to expand it," he said. D

Metro p·resident says

school's future bright Steve Leach Reporter

Metropolitan State College interim president, William M. Fulkerson Jr., delivered his convocation Tuesday to an audience of staff and faculty members at the St. Cajetan's Center. Fulkerson stressed that the college needs to obtain the money it deserves in order to develop to its fullest potential, and that the faculty and staff should be recognized for their outstanding achievements. In a rather informal address, Fulkerson kept his comments brief. He allowed several members of his staff to reflect on last year's progress and outline their plans for the upcoming semesters. Academic Vice president Tobin Barozzo . said there is a need for "quality" in undergraduate education, and that he will focus on assessment, general studies and transfer evaluation, as well as request that the enrollment cap be dropped. According to Institutional Advancement Vice-President Harry Gianneschi, last year's campaign to educate and inform the external audience about the college was very successful, but now is the time to "take that population and get them to support us." This year's MSC annual National Fund Drive beginning Oct. 5 will be chaired by Nuggets owner SidneyShlenker. Antonio Esquibel, vice-president of Student Affairs, added that there has been a

rise in applicants, enrollment and financial aid applicants, which means more money from state and federal agencies. "We want to be heard, and will be heard, as students," Martin Norton, president of MSC student government, said at the gathering about student involvement. Fulkerson said he believes in the type of education Metro offers, and that with the proper management of resources an cooperation of the staff and students, Metro has a lot to look forward to. The presentation of several awards for the 1986-87 school year was also included in Tuesday's agenda. Distinguished Service Award recipients included Dr. Delores Hickey, chair of Human Services; Professor Mary Harper Miller, a veteran in the school's nursing program; and Dr. Kenneth Rager, a mathematics professor at Metro for 21 years. Golden Key Awards were presented to Dr. Jerry Keen of the history department, Dr. Russel Bean of accounting and Dr. Robert Cohen of the Biology department, for research. Jeremiah Ring from the history department received the Excellence in Teaching award. Professor Leroy Ohrt, chairman of the Aerospace Science department and Dr. Phillip Boxer of the School of Letters, Arts and Sciences received Emeritus awards, while the Outstanding Classified Employee award went to Barbara A. Duckworth of Admissions and Records. D

Metro James A Tabor Reporter

MSC's quartlerly magazine, faced with a funding shortage, will either be discontinued or revamped to reduce the cost of publication, according to Dr. Harry Gianneschi, vice president of Institutional Advancement. The Metropolitan Magazine, first published during 1986, was produced and distributed to 18,000 alumni at a cost of $50,000 for the year, Gianneschi said. "I told the alumni in June that because of costs, the Metropolitan Magazine would have to be discontinued. They were upset and asked that I explore every possible alternative in order to continue publishing it," he explained. Every year 1,000 MSC students leave the campus and become alumni. According to Donald Lindemann, Alumni Assocation president, the magazine is a vital communication link between the campus and the alumni. "We have alumni scattered all across the country. The magazine is the best way of communicating with them. I think it's absolutely essential and imperative that we maintain the magazine if there is any way we can afford to," Lindemann said. Financial support for the slick publication last year came from three sources: the state, advertising and private sources. Gianneschi said he is exploring various alternatives for a viable financial solution. He added the magazine's staffing, production and mailing services are being reorganized.

magazine in jeopardy "In order to save the alumni magazine, we are attempting to expand it under a new methodology. The magazine will be put together within the time frames of the already existing staff of Institutional Advancement," Gianneschi said. "We are hoping to increase faculty involvement, and will rely on voluntary contributions. There won't be any paid staff with the magazine as before." .Managing Editor Carson Reed's contract with the magazine was not renewed as one of the cost-cutting alternatives. According to the former part-time editor, the magazine never achieved its independent status as it was initially designed to do. "When Metropolitan Magazine was conceived, our plan was to be financially independent," Reed said. "Faced with trying to save the most money possible and lose the fewest people, Harry did a very admirable job when considering the budget he was left with." Robin Heid, the magazine's former executive editor, agreed with Reed that the magazine's original purpose was to be independent of any supporting funds. However, Heid further added the magazine did not have the allotted time to achieve the goal. ''This magazine was designed to be a three-year project. By putting it on a yearly budget, they are essentially letting it wither on the vine. The budgeting structure in this state makes it impossible for any long-term planning," Heid said.

''This magazine was designed in the entrepreneur spirit. Its goal was to be independent andd a two-way communication vehicle between the campus and the alumni. It was hoped these goals would be accomplished after a three-year period. The policymakers of the college need to understand that it is better to kill the magazine than to slowly strangle it to death by whittling away here and there," Heid said. The decision whether or not to publish the next issue of the Metropolitan Magazine will not be made by Gianneschi until the midc:l1e of September. "Right now I have two-thirds of the money: $20,000. I don't know where the other $10,000 will come from. Until we have it covered we will not publish. The decision will be made in the middle of September," Gianneschi said. Besides eliminating paid staff, the new 'methodology' being considered includes various production cutbacks in the effort to cut costs. These include reducing yearly published issues from four to three and decreasing the number of pages in each issue from 32 to as low as 24. The heavier cover page will become the same weight as the magazine's internal pages. The down-

grading of the magazine's paper stock will make it a lighter weight, according to Gianneschi. "The paper stock will still be slick but downgraded. The paper will be lightweight. It will feel lighter and flimsier. We hope it will hold our half tones and other pictures and illustrations as clearly as the old paper stock. However, there will be a fall off of production," Gianneschi said. These staffing and production changes reduce the magazine's yearly budget to $30,000, saving $20,000 a year from the original budget. This new annual budget includes an updated mailing list. "Our new annual cost projection of $30,000 allows for the upgraded mailing list to 40,000. Eventually we want to upgrade the mailing list to include all 140,000 students who have gone through MSC," Gianneschi said. Upgrading MSC's mailing list is being done in three steps. The first step is the alumni's current list of 18,000. The second step will include all students who have attended MSC for at least one year. The third step of upgrading MSC's mailing list will include any student who has attended at least one class. D

According to Heid, Metropolitan Maga-zine has never achieved its two main goals:

The Metropolitan

August 28, 1987

-----OP-ED------Metro prof still mad The following article by Greg Pearson, MSC prefessor of journalism, appeared in The Metropolitan April 17, 1987. Lloyd Engen, Adams State College's assistant director of public information, replies on the following page. Metropolitan State College is in trouble again. Big trouble. So what's new? The short history of this college is, the more it succeeds, the more it pays for that success. And it has been far too successful. So put this brash upstart back in its place -last in the minds of its very own trustees, last in the minds of the Colorado Commission of Higher Education, last with the State Legislature. And always make it pay for its success. And for the concomitant jealousy it engenders in educational circles in Colorado. Just look at a few of its recent headaches, for instance. The presidents of Metropolitan State College, Western State, Adams State and Mesa College -the four member institutions of the Consortium of State Colleges -were recently informed in a memo from the consortium office that the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, in delving into those colleges' roles and missions, found there were no "major issues" surrounding Adams, Mesa or Western but that there were three "major issues" facing Metro State. What were they? Well, one dealt with the level of intercollegiate athletics at Metro and another with the school's need to serve a non-traditional, older population. The third drew attention to the CCHE's belief that no new facilities should be constructed at Auraria for Metropolitan State College. No new facilities for anything. Now let's look briefly at this nonsense. First, there are no "major issues" facing Adams, Western and Mesa? Are they kidding? The fact that one of these colleges is dying and another has been forced to make major cutbacks in its educational offerings is not an issue? The question as to whether they should even remain open is not an issue? Then, i:-ray god, what is an issue? While Adams writhes in its death pains and Western squirms in its shrinkage, an enrollment cap is placed on Metro - and that's not an issue? Talk about paying for success! Talk about contradictions! But let's move on, looking now at the matter of the CCHE's involvement in intercollegiate athletics (which no one has ever been able to show me was in its mandate from the Legislature). So let's say that the CCHE should indeed be involved in intercollegiate athletics. I have nothing against that. But why should such interest be limited only to Metro? The commission doesn't fool around with anyone else's athletic activities. But it apparently wants to force Metro into the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. Why? What business is it of the CCHE's what conference Metro wants to participate in? If the commission wants to be sensible, it should force the University of Colorado out of the Big Eight! Now that would ignite some shrieks, wouldn 't it? Enough to put the CCHE right out of business. But it's okay to screw around with Metro, isn't it? I mean, that's the in thing in Colorado higher education. Why am I even upset about this matter? Well , I don't see the CCHE getting involved in athletics at the Colorado School of Mines, where annual salaries for athletic coaches equal just a few dollars under $400,000! At Mines the football coaching staff is paid $139,000. At Western the football staff is paid $44,000; at little Fort Lewis in Durango, football coaches are paid $52,000; at Mesa, $42,500; and at moribund Adams State, $32,385.

And Metro doesn't even have a football program nor does it want one! And Metro gives no football scholarships, but the total football scholarships at the three other consortium schools undoubtedly surpass 100! Further, if the CCHE really wants to get involved in intercollegiate athletics, perhaps it should turn its gaze toward the thuggery and the druggery rampant in recent years at the University of Colorado. But the good Lord would quake at that. And so would the Colorado General Assembly. Metro State simply hopes to play NCAA Division I basketball, a dream in keeping with its size and setting and quality and urbanity, a dream befitting a major institution. And its administration has stated emphatically that if the program doesn't become self-supporting within a reasonable period of time, it will reconsider and put aside that commitment. So what is so wrong with Metro having a first-class basketball program? And why should that even bother the CCHE and our trustees? The CU basketball program has been in the cellar for years but there's been no move to suffocate it. Believe me, there are double and triple standards at work in the higher education circles of this state. I mean, look at this. The total salaries for the athletic director and his assistants, and for the basketball and baseball coaching staffs at Metropolitan State College lie at $84,000, a modest figure indeed. But for the barely quivering Adams State those salaries, including football, reach $88,221. At another sister institution, Mesa College, they total $117,556! And at little Fort Lewis College, administered by the State Board of Agriculture, they are a lofty $123,000. And we thought agriculture was in bad shape! Again , why the staggering differences in standards? Metro is the fourth largest institution of higher learning in Colorado. Its student population outnumbers the other three consortium members combined. And yet, compare Metro's above $84,000 to the combined $275,577 of the other three! Or to the total athletic coaching salaries at the Colorado School of Mines- a much, much smaller institution than Metro, but apparently an intercollegiate athletic behemoth! - of $395,475! Then tell me whose ox is being gored. And try to tell me someone's not employing double standards and quadruple hypocrisy! But enough for athletics, only a minor concern in the total scheme of things anyway. How about the matter of state general fund support for the 12 public four-year schools of higher education in Colorado? Surely, you say, Metro will come off a lot better there. It is the fourth largest. And it is undoubtedly the greatest surprise -and success! - in the history of higher education in this country in the past 25 years. Surely, the figures will reflect that. Wrong . Metro's LAST again. Figures compiled by Ed Paris, an analyst for the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs (and published March 22 in the Denver Post), show that the elite and coddled School of Mines again tops the list - $4,794 of general fund expenditures for each full-time equivalent student. But, oh my god, get this - second on the list is Adams State at $3, 175. Western State in seventh, get $2,650. Mesa College, at ninth, gets $2,212. And lookey here, folks, bringing up the REAR as usual, in twelfth , and the only one with less than $2,000 is that vagabond Metro State - at $1,973. Talk about getting the shaft for success! But who bleats and bleeds about that? Hah! Moreover, Metro doesn't have half the facilities of any of the other schools in the state, in or out of the consortium, but now the CCHE says it can't have any new facil ities whatsoever.

When you got 'em down, keep 'em down! And where have our beloved trustees been all th is time? Have you heard 'em defending Metro, shouting to high heaven about these gross injustices? Hell no. Fact is, quite the opposite. Oh sure, we've had some caring and concerned and effective trustees, people like Betty Naugle, John Vigil, Sandy Arnold , the fantastic Gladys Foster and a few others. But for the most, the trustees spend their time protecting their own little institutions in their own little bailiwicks, and milking Metro for everything it's got- like the $160,000 they took from Metro last fall to keep one of its sister institutions from dying. But finally, and what this comes down to, is: Who's doing battle for Metropolitan State College? A little over two years ago we got a new president. I served on the committee that selected him. We faculty, staff, students-were determined to find the best person available. So we selected, with high hopes, Paul Magelli. But I am of the opinion that his plans for this thriving institution in this exciting urbanscape have been stifled at almost every turn . And apparently he is on the verge of departing. Now, I'm no apologist for Paul Magelli. Frankly, he can infuriate me at times. And I, him, I'm sure. But I signed a petition a year ago asking him to remain at the helm. And I madethat request of him again just a week ago after seeing remarks attributed to the trustees' mouthpiece in the local papers expressing chagrin at Magelli. I don't care whether Magelli lives in a plush townhouse or a teepee, but I do care that he remain . And I'll be bitter if he's pushed out or if he departs. Because I am convinced the man has the ideas and the vision and the capability to advance the cause of this institution into the next century, and to nurture and embed Metro into the cultural, social and economic mainstream of downtown Denver - to make it a vital part of the community itself, and to make that commun ity an integral part of Metro. He has an agenda. That agenda should be encouraged. !....ook, I've seen the representatives of the consortium, of our trustees, try to defend Metro in hearings in the General Assembly, particularly in the heated matter of H.B. 1187, which eventually put caps on Metro's enrollment and altered its mission. And those representatives were pathetic. A disgrace. No wonder Metro gets the short end. But now, the ultimate travesty has unfurled. The trustees la~t summer brought in a new chief administrator for :n consortium, a gunslinger billing himself as Hnuston "Tex" (Tex?) Elam. And from everything I've been able to ascertain, ol' Tex and his posse are indeed riding herd over Magelli and his counterparts at the other three schools. The critters have even forced one of the presidents out of office. And I'm certain they've placed severe restrictions on Magelli (and I get absolutely none of this from Magelli himself) . In essence, he is to bea mute paper shuffler serving Tex and his posse. He is not to talk to legislators, downtown business leaders, community leaders, etc. Just do what he's told to do -or Metro wi ll pay the price even further. And for godsake, forget that high falutin agenda of his! Keep us barefoot and in coveral ls. So what are the alternatives? Let Magelli run the school. Let Tex set aside his six-guns and shuffle the paper. And get ALL the trustees behind Metropolitan State College.

Pearson editorial excites Adams State grad

Adams grad fights back

...

ALAMOSA, CO .. . Write a reply - and keep it light. That sounds simple enough. Let's see now . .. what have we got here. Whoa! Am I reading a defense of Metro State or an attack on Adams State? My ... what curious terminology. Where was this guy when Nixon needed a writer? Well ... keep it light, huh? I am reading the writing of a Metro State journalism professor who seems willing to set aside the rules of investigative reporting in conducting a vendetta against Adams State while considering whether or not Metro should get out of the Consortium family. Simply put, he hasn't the foggiest idea about what has been going on at Adams State in the past five years. Also, he is visionary. He sees a future in which he is right and Colorado is wrong. That's okay, I guess, but its not a new idea. I feel that way every time I fill out a Colorado tax return. Anyway, getting on with this ... the title of Greg Pearson's opin ion article (always remember that a journalist's opin ion has a beginning, a motive and an end, though oftentimes the end doesn't come soon enough) seems appropriate. "A sad commentary on Metro's success." It is a sad commentary, all right. Let's see now .. . this opinion is awful ... uh .. . long. What newspaper would print an opinion of this iength? Oh, I see ... The Metropolitan. Life has an explanation for everything, doesn't it? Well, there must be a key here somewhere ... a sentence that summarizes the substance of the opinion. Hold on, hold on ... I'm looking. There it is. The entire seventh paragraph, which says, "Now let's look briefly at this nonsense." Nicely put. The paragraph is brief and seems to summarize the opionion pretty well. Now, what else? How about this. "The more it (Metro) succeeds, the more it (Metro) pays for that success." Does that seem fair to you? I should think not. There must be some explanation. Oh, I see ... it's because of the "concomitant jealousy it (Metro) engenders in educational circles in Colorado." Well , that will do it every time, won't it? Good old concomitant jealousy. What is one to do? You can't live with it; you can't live without it. Well, I'm back to the " nonsense" paragraph again. Pearson is writing that the Consortium declared that Metro faces three "major issues" while the other three members of the Consortium face " no major issues." The Consortium said that? I doubt if the Consortium has made such a statement in its entire existence. It's not the nature of the beast, you see. Sorry. I used the word " beast" rather loosely. Whoops. What's this? Pearson writes that one of the consortium colleges is dying? Adams State "writhes in its death pains." Then he writes, "But let's move on."

Metro prof sounds off continued from page 6

And if not? Let's get the hell out of the consortium. We don't belong there anyway, any more than a porpoise belongs in the desert. We have no common interests with those three rural schools. Sure, keep 'em alive. But divorce us from them. And place this thriving, exciting, successful, urban and urbane institution under a board of metropolitanarea trustees who will fight for its legitimate rights in the higher education scheme of this great state. Goodbye Adams State, Western State, Mesa College. Hello, Denver Metropolis and the 21st Century! o

Ohhh, no, no, no. Let's not move on. Let's ponder this a moment. Is he referring to the college from which I just graduated last Saturday? Does he mean this college, which has experienced continuous enrollment increases for the past five years and in 1986 had the largest enrollment it had had since 1978? A college that met the new, tougher admissions standards almost before the new standards were mandated? A college that was selected as the prime deliverer of graduate teacher education in southern Colorado? A college that recently received the maximum accreditation period allowed by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools? A college at which the athletes receive more academic awards than do the athletes of any NA IA-member college in the four-state District 7? A college that has received more NAIA national all-sports awards for excellence in post-season and national competition than any NAIA- member college in the nation? A college that produces science students who win major graduate study and research grants from prestigious graduate science programs? A college that has the Number 1 business fraternity in the natior.?

"Where was this guy when Nixon needed a writer?" -~

Naw, he must mean some other college. So, let's see. He's moving on to the area of athletics, is he? Hmm. He thinks that the Consortium wants to force Metro into the RMAC. Personally, I think that's a good idea. It would allow Metro to improve its level of play. Still, Metro has had some recent success in men's basketball, but . . . basketball!! That's it! Metro wants to establish a first-rate, Katie-bar-the-door, numero uno, NCAA Division I basketball program. In fact, Metro's former president, Paul Magelli, was quoted in the May 5 Rocky Mountain News, saying, "Let's face it. A great basketball program can increase the value of a Metro State degree." Yep. That's what it looks like to me, too. The old cart-before-the-horse idea. I can imagine how a great basketball program is going to help me when I explain to the boss how I screwed up. Oh. Excuse me. I didn't mean to use that term. It just slipped out because Pearson used it when he wrote, "The inthing in Colorado higher education is to screw around with Metro," and I sort of got caught up in his phraseology. Believe me, it had nothing to do with Gary Hart. Now, just a minute! Pearson is writing that football coaching staff salaries at "moribund Adams State" are $32,385. Can that be right? $32,385? Wow! I guess you just have to love the game to want to coach football. This is interesting. He writes that Metro "has no football program -nor does it want one!" Then he writes, "And Metro gives no football scholarships." Certainly makes sense to me. What a great recruiting device, though. It could go like this: "Dear Mr. Smith, Congratulations. You have been awarded a football scholarship to Metro State. I'm sure you can seethe advantage of having a football scholarship from Metro. Since we don't have a football team, it is less likely that you will be injured while attending our college."

Excuse me. I seem to have lost sight of where I was heading. Pearson goes on to point out that the total salaries at Metro for its athletic director and his assistants, and the basketball and baseball coaching staffs, "lie at $84,000, a modest figure indeed," while for the "barely quivering Adams State those salaries, including football , reach $88,221." Do you see the problem with the comparison? Adams State doesn't have a baseball program and Metro State doesn't have a football program, and never the twain shall meet. Nor shall they be compared. Are we trying to compare Alamosa with Denver? You're right . .. I don't even want to think about it. But Pearson writes about "staggering differences in standards." Let's see .. . $88,221 minus $84,000 equals a staggering difference of $4,221. Oh. I see. He is comparing the $84,000 with $275,577, the combined coaching salaries of Adams State, Western State and Mesa College. And he cries out against this t ravesty because, " Its (Metro's) student population outnumbers the other three consortium members combined. " Now we're getting somewhere. It would follow, then , that the solution to this problem of inequity is to apportion athletic coaching salaries on the basis of student enrollment. What an intriguing idea ... have colleges engage in all-out enrollment warfare in order to benefit the salaries of coaches. Wait until Penn State hears about this. In regards to state general fund support, Pearson, in his own inimitable style, writes, "Oh my God, get this -Adams State is second on the list at $3,175," while "vagabond Metro State, as usual, is twelfth at $1 ,973." Then he asks, "But who bleats and bleeds about that?" I think we know the answer to that question. Still undaunted by the length of his article, Pearson refers to the " ultimate travesty;" the bringing in of a new chief administrator for the Consortium, "a gunslinger billing himself as Houston 'Tex' Elam," who with his "posse" is riding herd over Magelli and his counterparts at the other three schools." Kind of a neat analogy, don't you think? It doesn't work, though, but it is kind of neat. "01' Tex," you see, was the commencement speaker at Adams State last Saturday. No horse, no guns, no chaps, no spurs, no fancy duds; not even a cowboy hat. If this guy is a rootin', tootin ' gunslinger riding herd on college presidents, then I'm Hagarthe Horrible. And the only relation 01' Tex and I have to my analogy is that his name is Houston and I am a 5'4" Norwegian who couldn't fight my way out of a Swedish massage parlor. Dr. Elam talked to us about how to get a job; about how to avoid running off at the mouth; about being grateful to our parents; about being proud of our alma mater; about staying with our values in an imperfect world . His was hardly the speech of a person who wants to keep an institution such as Metro State "barefoot and in coveralls," as Pearson suggest. It is always difficult to paint a black and white picture in a world filled with grays. Pearson writes that Metro State "is undoubtedly the greatest surprise - and success! - in the history of higher education in this country in the past 25 years." I have no reason to doubt that. It just so happens that the high quality education and the oportunities available at Adams State arethe greatest secret in Colorao higher education. But the secret has been getting out. Eventually it will reach Denver. Pearson shou ld have no reason to doubt that. Anyway . . . this reply has become entirely too lengthy. Reading it, you would think I had studied journalism at Metro State, for Pete's sake. Lloyd Engen

DAVE VALENTIN AND HIS BAND also Orquesta Latino America Dale Crum Photo Editor

He walked into the room slumped over, holding his ribs, his face was swollen and bruised. Dried blood stained his clothing. Leaning over the desk, obviously in pain, he waited for the teacher to write him a pass to the nurse. Danny had been jumped and beaten again. It wasn't the first time, and unfortunately, it wouldn't be the last. Growing up a rebel in a tough neighborhood, Danny learned how to fight at a young age. Once at school, guys in the gang with nicknames like Zoombie, Hedgehog, Joker, and Tubesteak provided protection, but first Danny had to get there ... by walking alone through unf,riendly turf. There were times when he had to fight his way to school. It's a wonder he ever made it. In high school when a carload of students from a rival school gave the one fingered salute, Danny was always the first one to pile out of the car, ready for battle. On the football field he always had to make the last hit. He was the sophomore who took on the seniors .. . and won their respect.

Too many times his face showed the resulting marks of his defiance. At one time he spent three days in the hospital, his eyes swollen shut as reward for standing up to the school ruffian. Danny was a fighter all right. It's doubtful that many of Danny's teachers expected him to succeed . . . the odds were against him. This was life in the inner city, no gold cards, no BMWs, no silver spoon. Rich kids fight to prove machismo, Danny fought to survive. All this was over a decade ago-nearly two. If Danny had passively surrendered to the fate dealt him he would have either been in jail, or dead. But he's not. Don't forget ... Danny's a fighter. His work, which has taken him all over the country, is viewed by thousands of people daily. Often times he can be seen on the sidelines at a Nugget's game or in the Denver Bronco's locker room. He recently spent time in Hawaii, California, and the Colorado Rockies following the Coors Classic Bicycle Race. You see, Danny is a photographer for one of Denver's leading news teams. If you watch the news or caught a special hour-long program on the Coors Classic, chances are good you have seen the results of Danny's talent. And when you see the results of his talent in the future remember, if you will, how hard and how long he fought to make his life more than just a statistic. Meeting Danny today, you would see a gentle, rather shy man (at least until he gets to know you well) who goes about his business without attracting much attention. His face, which often bears a smile, no longer exhibits the marks of his many struggles. Danny has mellowed. And why not? He has a successful job, a lovely wife, and he no longer has to fight daily to survive. Be happy my friend, you deserve it.

I couldn't believe it was true when I first learned that Larry DiPaolo might not remain at Metro State as an instructor. My initial reaction of disbelief turned to anger to think an excellent instructor like Di Paolo would be let go. In 1984when I took English 102, Research, Analysis and Documentation, a class I was sure was going to be on the dull and dry side, I was delighted to find the instructor, Larry DiPaolo, a real treat to learn from. I found him original and entertaining in the style which he presented the material. The best part of being one of his students was how he helped to bring out skills and talents I never knew I had inside myself. I performed at my best. How did he do this? Well, he was creative in his skills as a teacher and in turn I learned to allow myself the freedom to be uniquely creative in my own individual way - and like myself for it. I was not just digesting and regurgitating information . Through the years Di Paolo has remained one of my favorite and most inspiring teachers. To let him go would be a great loss to the school for a couple of reasons. First, his talents would be gone. Second, how can MSC expect to attract excellent instructors like Di Paolo if staffing is based on politics instead of talent. MSC Student Brenda Richmond

Notes for sale

Entrepreneurs hope idea KATCHS on Joan Davies Reporter

Students who read their text b ooks and attend classes regularly, but still have trouble talcing practical notes may find Sandra Bowers and Ann Marie Michog's new service a help. It's called KATCHS (pronounced catches) and stands for Knowledge, Awareness, Trust, Caring, Honesty and Support. KATCHS provides notes for students, called "Teachers' Quotes," on a weekly or twice weekly basis, depending on individual instructors. Michog and Bowers say they provide their service a little differently from other professional note-takers. "We don't sit in on classes to take the notes, and we sell the notes before classes, not after," Michog said. They get the notes directly from instructors and assemble the drafts into notebooks, complete with extra pages for students who wish to add their own notes. KATCHS would also have an entire semester's worth of notes if instructors provide them. "We have 10 teachers who are working with us right now, but we hope to gradually add more," Michog said. She added that most teachers have been receptive to the idea, although a few consider it cheating.

But Bowers feels the only reason teachers consider it cheating is because they don't really understand what KATCHS is trying to do. Some instructors feel students wouldn't attend classes if they already have the notes, but Bowers and Michog disagree. "We cater mostly to night students, but we do both day and night students. Night students work all day, by the time they get to class, they're tired," Michog said. They believe the notes supplement classes and help students keep abreast of lectures. "Some people aren't very organized , either," Michog admitted. "We did a survey and we know students want it and they'll buy it," Michog said. Bowers, a social work major, came up with the idea three years ago. She didn't put her plan into action until she and Michog, an accounting major, became partners of this "entrepreneurship," as Bowers calls it. They started KATCHS in February, but have used the summer to plan the service more fully. Michog said it's for real this semester. They're hoping to get a good response from both students and instructors. In addition to the notebook, KATCHS also provides handouts and supplementsanything instructors are willing to provide. But it is very important to Bowers and Michog that they have instructor's appro-

val before using the notes. ..We are working for students, but we need the teachers," MichoJ explained. "We need to make a profit," Michog explained about the price, "but we want to keep it as low as possible. We're here to help students." Both agree teachers have been very helpful in their endeavor. "They've been great. They are taking time off to do this and they are not malcing a profit, so they want to tell their students about it," Bowers said. Right now, KATCHS service covers mostly general education classes, including basic economics, sociology and psychology. They said they also feel the notebooks will b e useful long after students have returned their books to the bookstore.

Michog and Bowers hope to expand the business by adding 15 more teachers and hiring a typist. If they do hire someone, Michog said, they will only hire other students. They also hope to include other Denver campuses. "It's a dream come true after three years," Bowers said. Michog agreed, and added, "We hope it KATCHSon." "Teachers' Quotes" are available in the bookstore at $1.50 or under for one or two o weeks worth of notes.

Gonzo goes to Boulder Chad Morris Reporter

For those readers who have always wondered ... yes, Hunter S. Thompson really does wear dark sunglasses all the time. Yes, he really does use a cigarette holder. And, yes, he really does look like Uncle Duke from the "Doonesbury" comics. Thompson arrived to a packed Chautauqua Auditorium in Boulder Aug. 22. Although he was a half hour late, the crowd still gave him a standing ovation. And for the next three and a half hours, the 50-yearold journalist fielded questions ranging from politics to pornography. Thompson, who first gained wide-spread fame for his 1971 book "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", is an ardent political writer He covered the 1972 and part of the 1976 presidential campaigns for Rolling Stone magazine. He currently writes a column in the "San Francisco Examiner." In the late '60's, Thompson became one of the first writers to talk about drugs, such as LSD and cocaine, and their effects. He . usually based his findings on bis own experimentation. Few writers of that time would even write about drugs, much less admit taking them. While he never advocated drug use, Thompson still developed a following of avid readers who traced his escapades in every issue of Rolling Stone. It was during this period that Thompson developed what he called "Gonzo journalism." This was a journalistic style in which the reporter recorded an event as it

HOLISTIC HEALTH SERIES Presented by Metropolitan State College Lecture Series and the Metropolitan State College Health Clinic

unfolded. With the motto "Do It Now," Thompson himself often became entwined in the event he ~as trying to cover. However, in the Boulder auditorium, very few questions dealt with drugs or his excessive life-style, but instead with the politics of present-day America. Responding to questions, Thompson said he was "disgusted" with a generation whose political apathy bad allowed people like Reagan, George Bush and Oliver North to run the country. He said he feels that if George Bush is elected president in 1988; "politics in America is doomed." Oliver North is a "swine who sold out his own people," Thompson said. He was refering to North's arms deals with Iran, the country responsible for car-bombing the Marine barracks in Beirut. He said he cannot understand why a country like America, which is the "most industrialized, technologically advanced, most civilized nation in the world," bas a rapidly declining standard of living. But Thompson's political message to the audience was clear: "You have a hammer called politics and a dollar called a vote, if you don't use it .. ." His answers often reflected this attitude. He would tum questions back to the audience as if to say, "This is as much your concern as it is mine." This appeared noticeably during a discussion with a woman from the audience on pornography. She said that magazines like Playboy should be banned from the market. Thompson disagreed, saying that once someone starts drawing lines between art and pornography, then lines will be drawn elsewhere. He said he feels any form of censorship is wrong.

The topic of censorship is nothing new to Thompson, since the publishers of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" wanted to edit out large sections of the book due to its graphic accounts of drug use among the characters. But on the lighter side, there were questions about football, of which Thompson is a long-time fan. For those interested, he still thinks the Raiders are the worst team in the National Football League and puts the Minnesota Vikings at 30 to l odds in favor of winning the NFC Championship. Unlike other times in the past, Thompson was eager to talk and was sober enough to do it, although he did bring a bottle of Chivas Regal onstage with him and always had a full glass handy. Thompson started his career as a sports· writer for a Florida newspaper. He decided to get away from orthodox journalism and ended up writing a book on the Hell's Angels. The book "Helfs Angels" brought him some national recognition. It also got him beaten, or "stomped" as be puts it, by a group of bikers . After that, he began writing for the fledging Rolling Stone magazine, then based in San Francisco. It was there he first encountered the drug-culture of the late '60's and began writing about what he found. From there, he covered politics for Rolling Stone as the National Affairs editor. He seemed ready to talk all night, and probably would have if the building's fire code hadn't forced him to stop at midnight. Again there was standing ovation for the man who often reflects what the public thinks but will not say. Rumor has it that Thompson, who lives in Woody Creek, near Aspen, where be raises peacocks and dobermans, is working on a book. No publication date has been anno~nced . D

------SPORTS-----Men's soccer team kicks up optimism Robert Ritter

Lazecki was the winning goalie in each of Metro's seven wins and finished with a 1.82 goals against average and two shutouts.

Associate Editor

As a new season begins, the members of the Metro State men's soccer team want it known that they are more than just another team for schools to play on their way to California. Last season the National Collegiate Athletic Association realigned the nation's four Division II regions, and Metro was moved from the Midwest to the more competitive West region. Now, head coach Bill Chambers wants to establish a reputation among the western teams in hopes of gaining the chance for a post-season playoff spot. Chambers and the Roadrunners have their work cut out for them, though , considering the loss of the bulk of the team's offensive power and last year's 7-8 record. Still, Chambers is optimistic that a more mature team will gain a better reputation in the region. "Our goals this year are to establish a little bit of a reputation in the West region," Chambers said. "Also to win the league championship. And we'd obviously like to make post-season play." Chambers said last season's squad lacked

u a mental toughness, sometimes when it was needed most. "It (last season) was a very disappointing, frustrating year. There were five games we were winning, but ended losing," he said. The Roadrunners lost five of last season's top seven scorers, including leading scorer Martin Richardson, who finished with 12goals and three assists. But second-leading scorer Mitch

Gorsevski (eight goals and one assist) and sophomore Rudy Kim (four goals) return to spearhead a more experienced offense. "Last year I had nine freshmen out of 19 players," Chambers said. "This year I have nine new players on scholarship and four of them are experienced collegiate players who have proven themselves." Chambers said he mostly look to Doug Lazecki, the squad's only senior, for leadership.

Another reason for Chamber's optimism is the increased success he had recruiting compared to last year. "Recruiting went fantastically well this year. I got everyone I was trying to recruit this year except for one p layer . Last year I got only two players." One way Chambers hopes to gain more recognition is through a three-game road trip to California in September. "We're going to California to play three Divison II schools. Those schools are the ones we're competing with for national," he said. Cohesiveness is another goal Chambers hopes the team will reach this year. "This year I want to make a unit out of these guys. There's skill, but I want to make it a unit that's working together." Overall Chambers overflows with praise when assessing the team. "There's a lot of skill on this team. Great versatility and depth," he said. "This team has the capability of going undefeated." Metro opens the season Friday, Sept. 4, at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs. o
