R·e union rekindles memories George White Reporter Before there was an Auraria Campus, there was an Auraria neighborhood. It was • a special neighborhood, the kind where people kept their doors unlocked and thought of the people in the next house as family.

The Auraria family had a reunion on Sept. 19, as the inth Street Park was transformed from a row of campus offices ,J.-. into the close neighborhood it had been 15 years ago.

About 400 people came to the first Ninth Street reunion that Saturday afternoon.

They came to see old friends and neighbors and to see what had become of the area 1 they used to call home. Their neighborhood was stripped from them in 1972 to make room for the Auraria Campus, and many had not been back since they had moved out.

"I know it was hard for many of them to come back," said Santos Blan, an accounting <& professor at the Community College of Denver, who lived in Auraria on 11th Street from 1957 to 1963 and was one of the organizers of the event.

"Moving was very hard for most of them ·and I'm very pleased so many of them came back," he added.

Most of the buildings in the Auraria neighborhood were tom down to make room for the three colleges that are housed on the Auraria Campus today.

"We should tell those people to get off our porch," joked Carmen Heredia, whose , . family moved from 1059 Ninth St. in 1972.

"We lived here on Ninth Street for 16 years.

We all cried when we had to leave."

Many of the former residents hadn't seen each other for over 10 years and much of the afternoon was spent hugging old friends and trading old stories which everyone seemed to remember.

"A lot of these people I only see at funerals anymore," said Gloria Rodriguez, another one of the organizers, who grew up in Auraria with her six brothers and two sisters. "It is so nice to see all of them in a ~ happy setting. We all share great memories of this place."

It was at a May lunch that the reunion idea was born. Blan, Rodriguez and Rodriguez's sisters, Lydia Fernandez and Delores Meding, were having lunch when

·Former Aurarians reunite at Ninth Street to talk of old times and share new experiences. someone suggested that they get some of the people from the old neighborhood together.

"The idea grew from there," Rodriguez said. "We brought in eight more people and started meeting and planning. It took a lot of hard work from a lot of people but we couldn't be more happy with how many people came out and how fin e everything worked out."

Fine just might be an understatement.

From the opening ceremonies in St. Cajetan's Church - "where most of us went to school, took our first communion and were baptized,'' said Rodriguez - and the reading of Blan's stirring letter of memories (see letter on centerspread), to the grilled picnic under a perfect blue sky in Ninth Street Park, the reunion sparkled with the bond these people still share after all these years.

"It is so nice to see all these people.

Everybody knew everybody in this neighborhood. We were all a big family," said Mona Lucero, who lived in three different houses on Ninth Street.

Although the event was planned for old friends to see and have fun with each other, the organizers hope the reunion will also help bridge the gap between the colleges and the displaced citizens of Auraria, Blan said.

"It's important for the people of the campus - the ones who make their living here and the ones who get their education here - to realize what these people gave up. Many of them had lived their whole lives in this area and then were told they had to get 01:1t,'' he said.

Although some of the displaced citizens have come back to the campus to partake of the educational opportunities offered

here, Blan said he hopes the reunion will increase the number.

Each of the three colleges housed at Auraria - Metropolitan State College, the Community College of Denver and the University of Colorado at Denver - donated $1,000 to the event to help pay for food, Rodriguez said.

"The money donated by the colleges will be more than covered by the good will generated," said Blan. "A lot of bad feelings will be eased since the col1eges rendered more than lip service to the event."

The organizers aren't sure if a second reunion will come about.

"It was a huge task,'' said Rodriguez. "A second one is too much to consider now.

We'll be enjoying the feelings from this one for a long time."

When my friends and I graduated from high school, we all took part-time jobs to pay for college.

They ended up in car washes and hamburger J·o1"nts, putti"ng 1·n long hours .C l"ttle pay.

1 or I Not me. My job takes just one Weekend a month and tWO Weeks a year.

Yet, I'm earning $18,000 for college.

Because I joined my local Army National Guard.

They're the people who help our state during emergencies like hurricanes and floods. They're also an important part of our country's military defense.

So, since I'm helping them do such an important job, they're helping me make it through school.

As soon as I finished Advanced Training, the Guard gave me acash bonus of $2,000. Then, under the New GI Bill, I'm getting another $5,000 for tuition and books.

Not to mention my monthly Army Guard paychecks. They'll add up to more than $11,000 over the six years I'm in the Guard ..

And if I take out a college loan, the Guard will help me pay it back-up to $1,500 a year, plus interest.

It all adds up to $18,000-or more -for college for just a little of my time.

And that's a heck of a better deal than any car wash will give you. _ THE GUARD CAN HELP PUT YOU THROUGH COLLEGE, TOO.

----NEWS---Early prof evaluations i"n question Shirley Roberts Reporter

•

~

Probationary instructors - professors on the tenure track - at MSC face a battery of evaluations from students and the Board of Trustees before they receive contracts for 1988-89, but the weight of the student evaluations may be minimal, said Tobin Barrozo, provo~t and vice president of academic affairs.

Addressing the F acuity Senate's biweekly meeting, Barrozo said, "Student evaluations are not weighted in such a substantial way as to affect the writing of (instructor's) contracts."

The faculty handbook requires student perceptions of instructor effectiveness be accumulated to evaluate the ability of teachers, Barrozo said.

Evaluations for probationary instructors

will begin in October, Barrozo said, and, in accordance with the policy in the handbook, contracts will be written according to the results of the evaluations.

Some faculty members questioned the validity of completing student evaluations so early in the term and raised several concerns: elf students know the teacher will read the evaluations before the end of the term, students may evaluate the instructor highly to avoid possible reprisal.

•Will student rights be protected if evaluations are completed at midterm?

•Will student anonymity be protected by not having signatures on the evaluation form?

•If evaluations are due so early, will stu dents have enough experience with the instructor to give fair evaluation of the instructor's abilities?

Student Policy Council queries AHEC's actions Julie Ann Zuff oletto Reporter The Student Facilities Policy. Council went into round two against members of AHEC Sept. 21 regarding the controversy about the "By Word of Mouth" lecture series sponsored by the Auraria Student Center.

Members of the SFPC, a board comprised of representatives from Auraria's three institutions, said that the lecture series and a ticket booth located in the student center weren't approved by the council, and they question the right of AHEC to operate such activities.

While the board members contend that the budget for the series was not approved, Jim Schoemer, deputy executive director of AHEC, disagreed.

Schoemer said he "felt there were discussions last spring about the budget, and that staff members on SFPC were very much informed at the request of their school's CEO's ... they were very much involved in the development of the project and knew exactly what was going on."

Board member and MSC student government President Martin Norton said the SFPC will try to stop the next lecture in the series (planned for mid-October), and that the Metro student government will be boycotting and picketing the lecture.

The SFPC has already censured the student center and is now questioning the setup of the ticket booth.

"The important issue was censure to the Auraria Board too. The Auraria Board didn't clear it through the students even though they thought the lecture series was good for students. They didn't go through SFPC. The ticket booth is not approved in the student center and no plans were submitted," Norton said.

The ticket booth distribution is intended for campus as well as off-campus events.

Meanwhile, Schoemer said that the stud ent governments had input on the budget last spring through representation.

The SFPC requested that an AHEC representative bring any information showing board approval to the next meeting Oct. 5.

•Will probationary instructors have an additional end-of-term evaluation? (The faculty handbook indicates not all evaluations will be done by the review date.)

Barrozo said the evaluations for probationary instructors will he completed before the instructors submit their accumulated dossiers for review.

If there is no adequate evaluation of instructors, the result will be across-theboard salary increases - or no increases at all, he said.

Barrozo also said instrnctors will have an opportunity to review their evaluations before the documents are placed in the dossiers, and instructors will he able to argue the results of evaluations.

The 400-plus part-time faculty will h e included in the evaluation process, he said.

Barrozo also addressed Metro's need to have an assessment of learning plan to present to the Colorado Commission on Higher Education by 1990 for their approval.

According to Lolly Ferguson of Public Safety, officer John Vandyke and guard (.;reg Stahl investigated a call that three men were overturning benches at the Ninth Street Park Sept. 17 at 12:31 a.m.

Vandyke and Stahl chased the three men, but the suspects eluded them. When the officials returned to the park, they found two benches overturned, a socket set· and orange rubber gloves.

The two officials then checked Parking Lot I and found four cars broken into.

Mesa College received a CCHE grant for its assessment program, Barrozo said, . and the college has successfully ksted two freshman classes. By 1990, Mesa will test four freshman classes and one graduating class.

Barrozo said Metro will need to have a program ready for the Boa~d of Trustees by spring semester.

Bork appointment rapped

by Roe vs. Wade lawyer met a pregnant woman by the name of Jane Roe. "Jane Roe was a young woman who never finished high school, who had a stormy past and who was pregnant and didn't want to be," Weddington said. Roe was pregnant by then Dallas District Attorney Henry Wade.

Shelly Barr Reporter

Sarah Weddington, nationally recognized for arguing the landmark Supreme Court abortion case, Roe vs. Wade, spoke to a full house at St. Cajetan's Center Sept. 16, when she appeared on campus in honor of MSC's celebration of the U.S. Constitution.

Weddington spoke to an enthusiastic audience on the Constitution's application to contemporary issues.

After pulling up the duct tape which secured her microphone wire to the stage and descending to the St. Cajetan's floor, Weddington traced her involvement in Roe v. Wade.

"I went to a garage sale," she said.

It was at the garage sale, Wedddington explained, that she first heard of the many women from Austin, Texas, who were crossing Mexico's border to have abortions and returning, many times with medical complications.

Weddington had graduated from law school at age 21 only a year earlier in 1968.

In 1969, Weddington said, Texas law stated that abortion was lawful only in cases in which the woman's life was in jeopardy. And it was at that time that she decided to file suit against the state statute.

She called a law school colleague about what she planned to do and asked her to help compile data for the lawsuit.

In the midst of collecting cases for the lawsuit, Weddington and her colleague

Roe had gone to doctors in Texas for an abortion only to be refused help. But one doctor who knew of the lawsuit preparation re!erred Roe to Weddington and her colleague.

The case, soon to be knovm as Roe vs.

Wade, was pushed all the way to the Supreme Court.

"By the time we got to the Supreme Court (1971), our pile of material was about that high," Weddington said, making a gesture to indicate a stack of papers a foot high.

Weddington is the youngest woman ever to win a case before the Supreme Court.

"It's awesome because you think about those nine people with such power," she said.

The Roe vs. Wade decision was not made that year, Weddington said, because two of the justices had not yet been approved.

"So," she said, "We went back in 1972 and argued again."

On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Court declared that the 14th Amendment protects a woman's right to privacy, which includes the right to abortion.

Weddington speech drew protestors.

"But one thing that is not in the Constitution is how a Supreme Court decision would be enforced," Weddington said.

"The case is very much under attack today," she said.

Weddington said she fears the approval of President Reagan's appointment of Robert Bork to the Supreme Court because he has said that the Roe vs. Wade decision is wrong.

F orrrier colleagues remember Brown · Elvira Ramos Reporter

Harold Brown lived design.

He sought design in every aspect of his life. He worked on it, improved on it, and, in sharing his vision with others, he left a legacy for which many are grateful.

Brown, 64, died June 28 of pneumonia resulting from a lengthy illness. An art professor at MSC from 1969 until.his death, he is best remembered for his passionate devotion to teaching and for his commitment to his students.

Bob Odell, MSC professor in industrial technology, said of Brown: "I know he was a very dedicated teacher - dedicated to his profession and to his students.

"He was one of the nicest and most dedicated people I know of."

Odell and Brown were jointly responsible for the development of a degree program in industrial design at MSC. The program, now in its third year, is the only major one of its kind in the region, Odell said.

"His energy in that program is gone but the impact of that program will continue," Rodger Lang, MSC art professor, said.

Jean Schiff, another MSC art professor, smiles when remembering Brown's penchant for design.

"He perceived the design in everything," Schiff said.

"Howard would take a fork and stand their balancing it in his hand. 'You see this,' he'd say. 'It isn't easy to use. It doesn't work well.'"

A sbared cup of coffee was another opportunity for a lesson in design. Did it work? Was it comfortable? Did it spill too easily?

"He left a real heritage," Schiff said. "I learned to look at things totally differently.''

His interest in design also carried over into landscaping.

"He had hundreds of tulips," said Marvin Ford, a friend of Brown's.

"He didn't just plant a flower," Schiff said. "He'd move hiJls." Howard Brown shared the fruits of his labors. In his garden was a mulberry tree.

Those in the art department fondly remember the homemade jams from that tree.

During his tenure as chair of the art department at MSC, a position he held

until 1975, Brown helped to establish the Emmanuel Gallery on campus and designed its interior, Schiff said.

At the request of former MSC President Paul Magelli, he designed a meeting space housed at 1059 Ninth St. Park, which will be d edicated to his memory, Schiff said.

Brown's commitment is echoed enthusiastically in the words of his former colleagues when they speak of him.

"His primary commitment was to his classroom and to the students," Lang said. ·what stands out about Brown is the depth of his commitment, he added.

Calling Brown an "outstanding contributor," Phillip Boxer, MSC dean emeritus and former dean of liberal arts during much of Brown's tenure, said that for Brown, "teaching was a very high priority.

That and directly working with students."

"Brown reflected the spirit of the college very effectively," a spirit Boxer described as a "compassionate, student-oriented teaching institution."

Schiff called him "the consummate teacher" who always had time for his students.

"He always took time off to spend with students if they needed someone to talk to no matter how busy he was," Earline Hartman, art department secretary, said.

"He was a gentle spirit."

Sally Everett, assistant professor of art at MSC, remembers Brown for his gentleness and thoughtfulness.

"I didn't have a coat hook in my office.

He noticed that and, without my mentioning it, one day I came in and found a coat hook that he had put up for me."

She described Brown as a tall man, softspoken, with a sense of color often reflected in the way he dressed. Purple, rust, p each - on him they went together, she said.

"Dapper, that's the word," she said.

"Suave. Sophisticated. But he never talked down to anybody. " Brown came to MSC from the head design position at Michigan's Cranbrook Academy of Art, considered by many to be one of the top design schools in the country.

Originally from Illinois, he received degrees from the University of Illinois, Michigan State University and Cranbrook.

In 1977 he received MSC's distinguished service award.

"Brown had a vision that was broad,''

Schiff said. "He saw the big picture."

"He looked beyond just the department," Everett said. "Howard was interested in how the department fit into the school and how the school fit into the community.

"Brown had a depth of experience which made students feel they were benefiting from a wide perspective," Boxer said.

"People knew Howard Brown, then the art department," Everett said. "They were interested in the department because of Howard Brown. I think we're going to lose that."

Lang said he hoped the department was able to find someone willing to make the same kind of full-time commitment to design.

"His commitment is lost. There's the risk a great deal will be lost," he said. " I hope we don't waste the opportunity. " My hope is that all well lose is Howard ... that is loss enough."

An MSC-s1xmsored concert to remember Brown is planned for noon on Monday Sept. 28, at St. Elizabeth's Church. A rec:eption will follow at St. Fran<:is Interfaith Center.

Pupils mourn professor Joy Goldbaum Reporter

Harold Brown, one of MSC's most devoted and enthusiastic professors and founder of the industrial design program will be missed by many, including his former students.

"Brown was the kind of teacher that was accessible to his students. Outside of class he was always there to help you with your problems whether they were related to d esign or research. He really encouraged his students to experiment," said Barbara Forst, a 1987 graduate who entered the industrial design program three years ago.

"I think Howard would want to be remembered for the work he did, especially his jewelry. It was very important to him," Forst said.

In addition to jewelry, Brown was interested in art history and application and architecture. He even designed his own house, which he called "Whipporwill House," named after its Applewood street address.

Forst described it as, "Frank Lloyd Wright in style, open and tied in with nature."

Barb Bucher, also a 1987 graduate of the program and now a graphic artist with RTD, also admired Brown.

"Brown never insisted that you copy his methods or style. So many art teachers want you to follow their example but

Brown's message was that it's okay to be different," she said.

Both Forst and Bucher were shockt•d by Brown's death this summer.

"He never talked about his illness," Bucher said.

"You had to know him to know he was sick," Forst said. "Even though he took a semester off last fall, he looked so much better when he came back. Everyone just thought he was fine. His death really stunned his students."

"Howard really cared a lot about tht• program and his students succeeding,'' Forst continued. "He was so encouraging and positive. He gave me the desire to keep improving and to never quit."

-----OP-ED

Metro already world class college There are certain things that can be counted on happening every year.

For instance, the swallows always return to San Juan Capistrano. And some insane fan will paint his (or her) house orange and blue in a fit of Broncomania sometime in the fall.

And some public official will come up with the original idea that the schools at Auraria should somehow be merged to form one institution.

This year that official is Don Bain, who made the proposal in a speech in which he outlined• areas Denver could improve upon in fostering economic growth.

At least Bain's proposal is unique in that he would like to see a single institution devoted to research.

Most proposals simply want one school at Auraria to cut down on the bureaucracy and the constant competition between the three schools.

Bain, however, wants the merger with a single purpose in mind, what he called a "world class" institution of higher education. In his speech, Bain mentioned MIT and the University of Texas as exemplary institutions. He said that these schools contribute much to their communities because businesses look to such research facilities as a

tremendous resource.

He also said that he believes Metro can survive in its role as a college with open admissions while at the same time functioning as a research institution.

But this is where Bain and all the other mergercrazy officials stumble.

The serv i ce Metro prov ides to the Denver community is not somethi ng that can be rep laced by a school that accepts on ly the very top high school students in the land like MIT. Or one that .places turning out high NFL draft choices right next to academics on the priority list.

Most students at Metro come here after going to other schools where they find they are j ust another number on a long class list. They come because it's convenient to live at home, work and still take some classes. But mostly they come because they see Metro offers smal l classes and professors who actually give a damn about education and not economics.

Bain said that an excellent sight for a higher education research facil ity could be Au raria. He also said that one of the roadblocks to creating such an institution would be which board wou ld govern the school. He assured the audience that the Auraria

board was not looking for the job.

But before we decide wh ich board should govern "Merger State University," we should decide if we even want to be the MIT of the West. Or if a school that just celebrated its 21st birthday is in danger because Bain sees Auraria dri fting along and "clouds" on the horizon.

And how do you th iok CCD feels about all this?

"Um , sorry boys, we just don't have room for a COMMUNITY COLLEGE!" It's possible Auraria will someday be home to a great research institution that rivals MIT or Texas.

But it's also possible if that happens the Denver community could lose a valuable commodity like Metro State College.

One thing is for sure. The Denver area needs the service Metro provides. If it can't be done at Auraria, then let it be happen some place else. Then not only would Metro survive, but it would be free of the heavy-handed landlord called AHEC. Maybe Auraria has no room for a school like Metro. Or maybe Metro doesn't have room for Auraria.

English not only language in United States A rally to protest the " English As The Official Language" movement was held on September 16, 1987 at the Civic Center park. More than two hundred people participated in this event wh ich was intended to bring attention to the true nature of the " English Only" movement. Many speakers, including Mayor Federico Pena and State Representatives Tony Hernandez and Wilma Webb had condemned this movement as being divisive and unnecessary.

There is currently a national effort to pass legislation in every state of the U.S. that would make English the official language. The impact of this, if passed , would have great impact on the Spanish speaking and on people who speak languages other than English. The impact would be felt on social services which are now provided bi-lingually; bilingual education would be under attack and there would be many issues that would come up in relation to what democratic r ights would people have who speak another language.

This effort is being led by Representative Barbara Ph illips from Colorado Springs, Colorado. She first tried , unsuccessfully, to get her legisl~tion passed through the legislature. Since that was not successful, Barbara Phillips is working on a ballot initiative for the November 1988 general elections.

Many ·critics of the " English Only" movement claim that the bill is designed to whip up national chauvinism , particularly at Chicanos and Latinos in the U.S. The "English Only" movement comes at a time when Chicanos and Latinos are expected to become a stronger pol itical force in the U.S. The mood that is being created , in the U.S., by this movement is one of fear and resentment against Chicanos and Latinos.

In order to illustrate how far this movement is w illing t o go I would like to quote a section of a report from Senator Steven Symms as he argues for "English Only" he says:· "But all is not well. Problems in nations south of our border pose serious problems to the security of America ; and yet another threat from with in has the potential to divide us and lead us down the troubled path taken by our neighbor to the north, Canada.

"We have activists in our midst who dream of a separate homeland, Aztlan , in the southwestern United States. Their dreams are fueled by federal and state policies which encourage maintenanace of native languages and cultures among those who really desire to join Amer ica's mainstream."

In a report by R.E. " Rusty" Butler, Ph.D., which was written to support Senator Symms' argument there is emphasis on creating the fear that Ch icanos who maintain their identity could become influenced by the "communist led" revolutions in Latin America. Thus, creating the fear that Chicanos are the Latino communist "fifth column " in the U.S. There is already enough misunderstanding between Anglos and Chicanos; this type of document just whips up the worst type of national chauvinism.

The Spanish language is not a new foreign language to th is land. The Spanish language has been spoken here since the sixteenth century. The annexation of northern Mexico by the U.S. came about as a result of a war in which the U .S. took 40% of Mexico's territory by force. The people who lived on this land after annexation were st ill culturally and ling uistical ly Mexican. However, over the hundred years since the annexation, Chicanos have adopted the

U.S. culture and the English language, while still maintaining a lot of the Chicano culture and also speaking Spanish.

Ironically, there is now a big " hoopla" about the t wo hundredth anniversary of the signing of the Constitution of the U.S., a document which is praised as a guarantee of the democratic rights of the American people, yet the rights of many of us are being denied. We are dealing w ith t he democratic rights of people and should be aware of the "ji ngoistic" rhetoric of right-wing politic ians who would manipulate our minds by misrepresenting facts and suggesting things to us that don't exist. No one is dema~ding that we all be forced to speak Spanish, but rather that the people who would prefer to speak another language (other than English) be guaranteed their right to do so.

Letters

Prof perplexed with MSC politics

.

Dear Editor: I am saddened by the recent schism which has developed in the English department. I write this letter in support of Dr. Delasara's leadership. I taught as a part-time English teacher at Metro from January 1981 to December 1983. I left to teach at Front Range. I returned to Metro in January 1987, still as a part-timer.

For the past three years, I have been working on my Ph.D. at the CU graduate school. By choice, I am a composition specialist. Not by choice, I feel I have been exploited by the state of Colorado in order for it to balance the higher education budget. My average income since 1981 has been $5,000/YEAR in spite of the fact that there is such a demand of the teaching of writing skills. And, in spite of the fact, I have begged for more work . The number of composition courses far outnumber other English courses. Every college in the state requires writing courses for graduation. There are only a handful of trained and experienced college composition specialists in the state.

When I discovered what positive w.ork Dr. Delasara had done for the composition program at Metro, I

shouted "Hallelujah!" and rejoined the forces here at Auraria. Since my return, I have been given respect, recognition, and responsibilities which are commensurate with my expertise. I have been encouraged to develop professionally. For that I thank Dr. Delasara.

When I started my M.A. in 1979, I became acquainted with Miles Olson who is currently my advisor for my Ph.D. One snowy evening Professor Olson told me to read the professional journals. I did. In fact, that's occupied a good portion of my time since he gave me that advice. His advice turned out to be the best and worst advice any one has ever given me. Knowing what SHOULD be done in a composition classroom and what is being done has peaked my frustration level. I have had four bosses since 1981; Dr. Delasara is the firsi one to do what those journal articles are suggesting. Metro's students of composition have benefited.

Please don't think I am taking sides. My understanding of · what happened to Larry Di Paolo is limited. Larry began his five-year sequence of "temporary" positions the year I left Metro, and he had his last temporary full-time contract denied the

Former student appalled Dear Editor: As a former student of Mr. Larry DiPaolo, I was absolutely appalled when I read of his current administrative victimization in the September fourth issue of The Metropolitan.

It seems that once again the combination of mind1ess bureaucracy and petty internecine 'departmental jealousy has resulted in the destruction of the career of a truly brilliant, creative and gifted teacher.

As of this moment, I shall cease to recommend MSC to any of my own students here at West High. In addition, may I suggest that all requests for alumni financial contributions be met with a flat denial cou-

pied with all the contempt they deserve.

After all, it's just common sense to refuse to give support to any college which systematically denies its students the very essence of what they are paying to receive - a decent education.

Incidentally, The Metropolitan's staff is to be congratulated for bringing this deplorable scandal to light. Too often such examples of administrative brutality and incompetence are simply covered up and ultimately left to fester and rot in the middens of the Groves of Academe.

Terry E. Allen former Metro student

Financial aid attack unfair Dear Editor: The September 11th editorial written by your Assistant Editor is a personal attack on every member of the MSC Office of Financial Aid. As one of those employees, I feel that we have been treated more than unfairly.

Ms. Rivers begins her article with a complete dismissal of some of the mitigating circumstances leading to the problems that, admittedly, do exist. In her eyes, having double the number financial aid applicants with fewer staff to process them, and nagging computer problems have no bearing on the matter.

Even if these problems are dismissed, there are many other factors involved in the current situation in our office. Had she pursued the real causes of our

problems she would have found that the members of this office have been working at peak output for over a year trying to get a new computer system in operation while still processing applicants with the old system. She would have found that the management of this office anticipated that we would have a manpower crisis as long as two years ago and that requests to upper level management to help meet this need hav been ignored. And maybe she would have discovered that most of the policies that we adhere to are dictated to us by state and federal regulations, not by our own whims.

Steve Murphy MSC Flnanclal Aid Employee

DiPaolo student says thanks Dear Editor: I just finished reading the article regarding Professor Di Paolo. I had the pleasure of having him as my very first instructor at Metro.

At the time I was taking Di Paolo's English class I was trying to decide whether to go for a degree. After several weeks in his class , I figured if half of the professors at Metro were as good as Di Paolo I would go for it.

Larry Di Paolo opened my mind, and changed my

life. He gave me the courage to leave the oil business, and work towards the degree goal. It was a big decision, but I'm glad I did it. I have not been this happy in 14 years.

I don't think Di Paolo knows what he did for me, but I do. I would like to thank him for the many things he taught me. He re-opened my world. He will be missed.

Carol Fujita "Just A Student"

semester I returned. Who denied his contract for spring 1987 or why is unclear. I have respected Larry from afar for some time .. Because I have prospered professionally under Dr. Delasara's leadership, I find myself in a dilemma. I believe in teaching new college students how to write by the pedagogy encouraged by Dr. Delasara, yet I have felt exploited by the state's higher education bureaucracy as I am certain Larry must be feeling now. I want Metro to have a strong composition program because students need to know how to write in order to compete tomorrow.

I wish I had the power to correct the injustices.

Inefficacy is a cancer in Colorado's higher education system at all levels. I love teaching . I love the students. The excitement generated by work done "right" in the college composition classroom cannot be met any where else in any other profession. It's truly sad when talented individuals who have chosen to fight for their own valuable causes have to resign themselves to defeat because of an ossified bureaucracy and political paranoia.

Kathleen Hebert MSC English professor

Part-time profs not to be feared, just understood Dear Editor: President Fulkerson seems vaguely upset about part-time instructors joining the Colorado Federation of Teachers. He shouldn't be. We're not subversives. None of us are hard-core teamster types.

Some of us are even purdent Republicans.

So why did we join a union? Here are just a few of the reasons: 1. Since part-time instructors are excluded from faculty status, we have absolutely no due process rights, j ob security whatsoever.

We could be fired for any reason at any time, and we wouldn't have a leg to stand on. The union provides us with free legal help if and when our rights are violated by the college.

2. Since technically we do not exist as faculty, the college could simply disown us if we were ever faced with a liabi lity suit. The union offers coverage up to $1 ,000,000.

3. The college has never allowed us to take advantage of their group insurance rates, even if we were willing to pay the premiums ourselves. As members of the CFT, we are eligible for Kaiser group rates.

4. Throw in a $1000 accidental death policy and a credit car.d.

And all for only $5.50 a month. That's why we joined the union, Dr. Fulkerson. Most of us have families to support and rent to pay. We worry about our kids getting sick and our jobs disappearing. We like to teach . Granted, it's a lethal addiction, given our salary scale; but we keep hoping it will get better.

So we joined a union. And hopefully soon we can sit down and discuss these matters with you.

Computer prof instills desire to learn Shirley Bonner Reporter

Certain teachers encourage us to believe in ourselves. They make us want to face challenges. They help us go beyond our limitations while instilling within us the desire to learn.

Dr. Armando Rosario Gingras (pronounced ;hawn graw' ), 46, director of the Metropolitan State College computer science program, is one such teacher, according to his students.

"He makes assignments intriguing enough that you want to work on them," said MSC senior Ray Ferguson, a computer science major and former student of Gingras.

"He makes equations relevant ... He brings into computer science things from acrosst he - board. It helps tie things together," Ferguson said. "He makes you care. It seems worthwhile when he teaches."

And teach he does. His technique is simple: he employs wit and wisdom. To him, teacher involvement is just as important as student involvement.

Gingras said that he becomes one of the students when he teaches.

"I tackle the problems along with them," he explained.

According to Ferguson, this eases some of the difficulties students face when Gingras inundates them with complex and challenging problems.

On a warm fall morning, the six-foot-tall, dark-skinned professor stands before 15 students in the Science Building. They watch Gingras write a difficult equation on the chalkboard. No one answers when he asks for a solution. Gingras calls upon a

student in the front row. The student goes to the chalkboard and hesitates.

"I'll give you a hint," Gingras says while walking to the chalkboard to assist. Gingras writes one parenthesis. The students laugh.

The open-ended parenthesis is a basic symbol required in all like equations and it gives the student at the board no advantage.

The student tries to tackle the problem but writes the wrong solution.

Dr. Annando Rosario Gingras Gingras calls upon a second student. She gives her answer. The students look to Gingras for approval.

Acting just as puzzled as his students, Gingras says, "Let's see if her answer is right."

Returning to the chalkboard, the professor works out the second student's formula.

"Ah, it's right!" Gingras says, sighing contentedly.

The class period ends. Most of his students crowd around him, patiently waiting .to ask any questions they may have.

"His problems require that you go beyond the textbook. You're going to have to pull something out on your own," Ferguson said. "You're going to have to go to other sources, or you may have to go to him. Either way, you will have to think about the problem."

When the problems are too difficult, Gingras' students seek him out for advice.

Collette Collins, a first-year transfer student, said she feels that she can go to the professor when she has a problem.

"When I came to Metro, I didn't know much about the program. I went to Gingras for information. He was busy, but he found time for me. One day, he spent 45 minutes with me. He told me the good things and th e bad things about the program," Colliris said.

Ferguson also goes to Gingras for advice. . "He takes time to talk to me even though he [professor] is a director. He never talks down to me. He can deal with the various levels of people."

Smiling modestly, Gingras downplayed . the distinction given him by his students.

"I don't do anything special. I enjoy my work, perhaps that shows through ... I hope it does."

Surprised about his popularity, Gingras said that he is a private person.

"That ability allows me to focus - not shut out the world," he said.

If he wanted to shut out the world, he would not be able to, at least not here on campus. His students are comfortable with him, and they take their problems to him.

Pleased that his students com e to him, Gingras kiddingly said, "Sometimes I can't get rid of them."

i J; 1JCTR0.6JVSK I

Gingras heeded the wisdom of his mother. He improved his life.

"I played the hand that fate dealt me," he said.

After graduating from the University of :'.'iew Mexico-Albuquerque with a combined master's and doctorate degree in topology, a specialized math, he went to work for IBM as a mathematician scientist.

He dedicated many ho urs to IBM , spending a lot of time away from his family. Eventually he ~aid he realized that

A man of paradox, Gingras cares about his students' children, not just the students themselves.

"Let's face it, there are few Einsteins walking around this campus. Thos~ who are Einsteins will have been identified by the time they are 8 years old, and they will have been shuttled off to other schools, Gingras said.

He said he is not teaching them about math and computer science, especially in his introductory courses, which may have students who are taking the courses only to · satisfy requirements.

'Tm helping them to come to some understanding to deal with math, so they can pass it on to their children who will be in a better position to deal with math," he said.

Gingr_as' childhood helped him realize the importance of learning for the sake of the children.

Born of a French Canadian father and a Mexican mother, Gingras and his two brothers grew up in poverty in Los Nietos, Calif., a small town east of Los Angeles. His mother had a sixth-grade education, and his father had none. As a result, his father was illiterate.

To further complicate his life, Gingras suffered from chronic asthma. He missed his first year of school because of his illness.

When he did go into the first grade, he faced another problem - he spoke only Spanish; his teacher spoke only English.

After that year in school, Gingras' mother, who spoke only broken English, told her boys, "In this house, we will speak only English."

The following year, Gingras started to school able to speak English. "I don't remember it that well but I guess I did okay," Gingras said.

Seeing what a lack of education could do to a family, Gingras' mother instilled in them that education was important if they wanted to improve their lives.

Feeling good about yourself Joan Davies

Copy Editor

I was doing some quality thinking the other morning. It suddenly occurred to me that I have things pretty darn good. I don't know why I never thought about it before, but when I really think about it, I can appreciate my life a little more.

Let's see. I've got my health. That's always important to us, isn't it?

I'm pretty intelligent. I'm not bragging, I'm being honest with myself. I mean, sometimes we all feel stupid - everyone has his moment, right? At the party when you make an inane remark, in class when you ask a stupid question ... but those don't really count. Everybody slips up at least once. But all in all, I've got the smarts to make it in the world.

I'm married to a wonderful man. Yeah ... he is pretty wonderful, even though I don't tell him enough. How many men do you know would fully support your education when he doesn't have any degree yet himself? But, he tells me, education is "our goal," not just mine. And he cooks and cleans too.

I had a good upbringing. Of course, I can thank my parents for that. You done good, mom and dad. Thanks for having me.

I have a roof over my head and food in my stomach. I've always taken those necessities for granted. You see, I grew up in NiCeville, Florida. We didn't have much in the way of street people there.

My first real taste of poverty came when my husband, who's in the Air Force, was transferred to Turkey. For two years and two months, we faced beggars and their "money, money, money" chant - it was the only English word they knew.

We would see the arm- and legless man propped in a box up against a wall every day, helpless when young gypsies took coins from the cloth in front of h1m.

We watched from the windows of our bus that took us on tQ base each morning the homeless Turks who slept on the sidewalks in the summer. They looked for empty apartment buildings being constructed to sleep in during the winter.

I thought I wouldn't have to -see that when I got back to the States. But I see the homeless in the Denver streets ... and it brings back memories.

I think how lucky I am to be an American, to be alive and safe each day, to have a loving family.

I firmly believe we're all too eager to accentuate the negative things that happen to us. We'd jump on the pity-pot before we'd count our blessings.

I'm not denying the benefits of a good, healthy cry every now and then. But when we start living in gloom and doom because nothing goes right, that's going too far.

I could think of a lot of reasons to be depressed. But I don't want to.

I have a friend who seems to have had nothing but hardship all her life. I'm impressed with all she's accomplished despite her obstacles. But every time I talk to her, she's always complaining about her problems. I get depressed just listening to her.

I think she needs to stop and realize what she's accomplished and what she has, not

what she doesn't have. She's pretty re.markable, but she doesn't realize it. And that's too bad.

There's nothing wrong with feeling good about yourself. In fact, there's everything right about it. When you feel good, it shows.

My husband says I'm too nice. He wishes he could be like me in that respect. I don't

think I'm too nice, I just think I have a good attitude and I care about other people as much as I care about myself. I like to follow the Golden Rule: Do unto others ...

I feel good now. There's a warm feeling in my stomach. I feel ... satisfied.

Maybe I should think like this more often. Then I'll always remember I have it D pretty darn good.

Child abuse seminar set at Metro Shirley Bonner Reporter Last year, 1.9 million cases of child abuse were reported nationally, 13,000 in Colorado alone, according to national statistics.

To combat the alarming numbers, John D . (Jay) Elliott, a 39-year-old lawyer from South Carolina, works to have laws enacted which shield our children from the blows of abuse, and to see that adequate legal representation is given to them.

A nationally recognized figure in the area of child welfare law, Elliott will be the keynote speaker at Metropolitan State College's "Children of Violence" symposium.

The event, sched uled at MSC's St. Cajetan's Center, will take place from 7 to9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 25 and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 26.

Emiley Young, an MSC student, will be one of the speakers. Young, a victim of child abuse, will discuss the impact of

childhood abuse experiences on adult relationships.

The speakers will explore multiple facets of child abuse, inclu_ding children's rights legislation, identifying victims, community efforts on behalf of children of violence, police intervention, the role of drugs and alcohol, and the possibilities for child abuse prevention.

Elliott said that although he is strongly opposed to abuse, he is in favor of corporal punishment, provided it's administered judiciously.

To reach that end, where parents discipline their children without crossing over to the point of abuse, Elliott said that we must change the way we view children.

"It's time we change the thinking of some adults. Children arc not our property. We cannot do what we please with them," he said.

Elliott said that he hopes to make the message clear during the symposium, which is being sponsored by the MSC Office of Conferences and Seminars.

Roberta Smilnak, director of that office, said that she chose Elliott as the keynote speaker because of the contributions he has made to the advancement of children's rights.

A published writer, Elliott became interested in child welfare when his law professor offered him the opportunity to write a paper instead of a final exam, according to an American Bar Association report.

Elliott accepted and the paper became the draft of South Carolina's Child Protection Act, which was adopted almost verbatim by the state legislature in 1977.

On a national level, Elliott has helped make child welfare and children's rights top leve l priority with the federal government.

Elliott, a 1985 recipient of the American Bar Association's Pro Bono Publico award for outstanding public service, has also lobbied for legislation, which will safeguard the rights of children when they are accused of crimes.

"I have drafted a plan to provide • alternatives to jailing children prior to trial ," he said. 'Tm also seeking uniform means of getting legal representation for children who are caught up in the court system."

Elliott has served in South Carolina as A county attorney, adviser to the Joint Committee on Children, and vice president of the Juvenile Justice Committee.

Nationally, he has developed the American Bar Association's training manual for their abused children advocacy program.

Smilnak expects a large turnout for the " event.

"An interesting group of people has registered for it. Most of the 70 registrants are students, nurses, police officers and social service workers," she said.

Elliott is also scheduled to appear with Denver District Attorney Norm Early on KMGH-7 Newsmaker Program at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 27. The two will discuss child abuse in our society.

his family was more important.

"I wanted to see my two little girls Yvonne (then 4 years old) and Teresa (then 6 months old) grow up, and I wanted to use my people skills. So, after 2J2 years, I quit IBM."

Gingras turned his interests to teaching on the college level. By teaching adults, Gingras saw the opportunity to reach

children via his students, the parents.

Gingras takes this round-about approach to helping children because he doesn't want to teach them.

Gingras said he enjoys the freedom of working in an institution of higher learning where one can study what one enjoys. So in 1975, he joined MSC's math department as a faculty member.

His early years at MSC challenged his problem-solving ability. The department offered few computer science courses.

Gingras viewed this as a problem which needed correcting. He researched the matter and drafted a proposal to create a computer science program with more classes that was separate from the math department. Successful, he implemented

the computer science degree program of which he is now director.

His ever-present smile saddens a bit when he reflects upon the distance he has come since the days of Los Nietos.

He leans back in his office chair and locks his hands behind his head.

He recalls Salsipuedes, a poverty-stricken town in Northern California which reminds him of his hometown. As he begins to speak about the town, his Spanish accent seeps "' forth .

"Have you heard of the place?" he asked.

'Translated, Salsipuedes means Get Out if You Can. "I took the challenge. I got out by my wits, not by buying my way out and not by shooting my way out," Gingras said.

Speaking for college students who are parents, Gingras said, "I hope that they [children] can use the advantages very dearly bought by their parents."

SPORTS~---­

Cl ub football kicking off Jean Anderson Reporter

•

On Saturday, Sept. 19, a crisp, sunny autumn day, the MSC Football club kicked off its season at 1 p.m.

And if 24 years isn't enough time to see the original college trustees spinning in their graves, one might expect at least a collective shudder as the ball sailed down the field to the Colorado Christian College Cougars' return team.

The team, equipped with a swarming defense and an offense powered by running back Jim May, beat the Cougars 26-6.

But as impressive as Saturday's win was, the successful resurrection of football at MSC is a tribute to the ragtag team who's motto is: "The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender."

After all, the authors of the :Trustees Report on the Plan of Operation for Metropolitan State College" had little use for athletics in their vision of the college in 1963.

"It follows that certain things common to the typical resident college will not exist at Metropolitan State College: among them, varsity athletic teams, stadium, marching bands, baton twirlers, dormitories, and social fraternities and sororities," they wrote on page five.

Never legislated, the statement in the Green Report, as the document is called, was revised.

In the Trustee Policy Manual revised April 22, authors conceded," ... participation in instructional, recreational and intercollegiate athletics by male and female students as a(n) integral part of each institution's total educational program."

However, they wrote, "It is the Trustee Policy that Metropolitan State College is not authorized to implement an intercollegiate program in football."

But what about a club?

Although club football existed at MSC as early at 1965, according to a report issued last September by then-President Paul Magelli, its demise is lost in the murky and undocumented history of the school's athletics.

But last fall, club football was reborn.

As the fledgling team collected used jerseys and held scrimmages, the intent of the club's original founders was questioned.

"There was some misunderstanding with

• New Interactive Dialing Method • All Phone Numbers • New Ads Daily • Call Anytime

the first group that came in," said Harry Gianneschi, vice president of Institutional Advancement. "Historically, it's understood that Metro would never have football.

There's a set of policies regarding club sports ... We certainly stand behind club sports at Auraria. (But) we would never approve Metropolitan State College entering into intercollegiate football."

"Football has a real stigma down here at Metro," said Allan Wilson, coordinator of club sports. "The first group of guys came on too strong. The second group toned it down," he said referring to the club's shaky start.

Meanwhile, T.J. Cole, a Colorado College graduate, decided to look for an assistant coaching job while he attended law school at the University of Denver.

During a pick-up basketball game last Christmas break, he heard about MSC's football club.

After several phone calls, he connected with Campus Recreation where he submitted a resume and landed the head coaching position.

"It was a pretty big mess," Cole said. "In the beginning it took a lot of organization."

It began last April.

Organizing included recruiting players, soliciting funds (Coors donated $500), electing officers, completing paperwork .and dissipating fears that the club's goals extended beyond club competition.

It wasn't easy.

"There was a lot of flack from the , school," club treasurer and assistant coach Steve Bowen said.

"Our motto is: 'The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender,'" Cole said."Every time we had an obstacle, every time there was paperwork, every time there was a meeting, that was our motto."

It paid off.

"Administratively, their club is one of the more sound on campus at this point," Wilson said. "They have their stuff together.

"If they ever had delusions of grandeur, they would have a problem," he cautioned.

Dressed in hand-me-down, mismatched pads and jerseys, the team's officers are quick to point out their club status. Even their paperwork stresses the club aspect of the team.

The officers say they've worked hard to establish a program because they love the game, and they shy away from the mention

keep it (the search for a trainer) at MSC," Bowen said, "but we need a trainer."

But on Sahuday, such off-field problems and obstacles faded as the club lined up on the Cougars' field that was more weeds and stickers than grass.

And, as the referee's whistle signaled the opening kickoff, the details that made MSC a club team diminished.

Never mind that their jerseys didn't have Metro on them, ("\\'e can't afford that yet," Bowen said.) and their helmets were green with gold ram's horns.

It was time to play college football.

Cole paced the sidelines, shouting commands like a general barking orders to his troops.

"I expected us to play tough football," CCC head coach Phil Hunsinger said. "I think both schools are dl'dicated to a strong program, and I think this could be the beginning of a strong rivalry."

As a jubilant team dumped a bucket of ice water over Cole, rivalries seemed more pertinent than controversy. "lt's the other people talking controversy and we're getting blamed," club Secretary Lee Adkins said. "We just want to play club ball."

One-third of the way through their schedule, the team appears to be winning their battle~ both on and off the field. White flags just aren't their style.

O

of the l'\ational Collegiate Athletic Association like a horse skitters away from a snake.

"I think all of us here want to play football," Eddie Valdez, club vice president, said. "We don't want :'\CAA recognition.

We just want to have fun and play ball."

According to Bowen, the club has 35-40 members who paid $50 to join. Outfitted in equipment acquired from Colorado State University, the defunct Denver Gold and even the Denver Broncos, the team practices three times a week But before pads are issued and practice begins, insurance liability waiver forms must be completed. A player is responsible for his own insurance should he be injured.

And the MSC club has its share of injuries.

Last week the team lined up against CCC without six starters, and the officers said they need a trainer.

"Down here it's hard," Wilson said about opening the training room to club sports.

"The training room is understaffed. The football team brought the problem to a head. The rugby team has been fighting it for years.

"My problem with the whole deal is this: They (trainers) need the training. They need to put the time in," he said.

The question of a football trainer remains unsolved. Meanwhile, the club is looking to other universities, Northern Colorado in particular, for assistance. "We'd like to
