President positive after 1st semester Jim Manuel Editor

MSC interim President William Fulkerson arrived on campus last July with a mission to bring better service to the students and a belief in higher education. Halfway through his year here he said lie thinks he's made progress and that things are beginning to move. It's taken some time to identify the problems and collect enough data to find the solutions. He shares his thoughts on his first six months here: Colorado's quest for recognition as a place for superior higher education is still millions of dollars away, he ~d.

----,----.

"I think more employers are concerned with higher education than taxes," he said. "They want their employees to get a top education."

General Studies The interim president said .the school's new General Studies program will go a long way toward teaching people what they need to know. "It may play into the hands of the nontraditional student,'' he said. "They are more a~are of their strengths and weaknesses and have a better sense of what they want to know." Some faculty members have expressed concern about how the new requirements would effect their departments. Fulkerson had nothing hut praise for the faculty that participated in formulating the new program and ,s aid their concern about its effects were expected.and commendable. "Every department believes they are the most important department if they're worth their salt."

Part-time teachers

"To illustrate the point, the Colorado Commission on Higher Education has set a goal of $2.5 to $38 million this year just l:o get us to reach mid-level with our national peers," he said. "We've got a long way to go." Last year the Colorado General Assembly allocated $21 million for higher education. Next year CCHE is requesting upwards of $40 million. Fulkerson said Colorado's low tax base is the reason for the money shortage since much of the state's budget already goes to education. A high proportion of that money goes to the kindergarten through high school area. Colorado ranks $2,000 to $3,000 behind in money spent per student compared to states who have better reputations for higher education, he said. "That kind of data would not indicate that CU (University of Colorado) or CSU (Colorado State University) are among the country's top schools." Fulkerson said he didn't think increasing Colorado's taxes in order to provide more money for higher education would discourage potential employers from moving to Colorado.

. ,..,

Fulkerson said the part-time teachers' problems - low pay, job insecurity- will be looked at very carefully. Part of the solution may be in arbitrary employment time, meaning teachers may be hired for a predetermined time period, say three years. At the end of that time, the teacher and the school would decide if both parties wished to continue the relationship either as it was or in a different structure. He also said that part-time teachers should realize that the school is helping them out by providing them with a place to develop their skills and gain experience. Part of the problem with hiring more full-time teachers and reducing the school's dependence on part-timers is the probability of larger and fewer classes. "That. would mean less time for the student," he said. ,Metro's percentage of part-time teachers is not too far out of proportion with other urban commuter schools, he said.

Financial aid The interim president said he doesn't believe the current financial aid system is the best way to operate. "They need more staff and their computer system analyzed," he said. "There are some questions that need to be answered about the payment situation. Two lines should not be necessary."

Deferred tuition The possibility of students being allowed to pay their tuition in payments is being considered. The high percentage of students taking one or two classes makes it a problem, though. It would be unfair for someone who could pay for a class not to be able to enroll in it because someone else who hadn't yet paid for it had already enrolled in it, · therefore filling the class, he said. "We have to be sure those who are trying to finish their programs can get the classes they need."

Working within the Auraria structure Complicated but workable, he said. "It's more difficult and talces more time," he said. Auraria's role needs to be more defined.MACES (Auraria Cable Entertainment Service) is a perfect example. It's not Auraria's area, but students should have it." Fulkerson said it takes more time, energy and patience to get routine things done, but there are workable solutions. The important thing is for each institution to remain committed to its respective role, he said. D

N oontirne Mall singers Dana Stlentjes Reporter

Now, businessmen and students alike, experienced or otherwise, can sing away their Friday lunch hours by joining the Metro on the Mall Chorus. The Chorus will be held noon to 12:50 p.m. Friday, Jan. 22 to May 13, at 1554 California St. MSC students can earn one semester hour of credit (at regular tuition prices plus a $10 extended studies fee). This can be applied to general studies credit or, for music students, as ensemble credit. H you don't need the credit or aren't a Metro student but are still looking f~r a good time singing in a casual atmosphere, you can join the Chorus for $15. The Chorus was offered for the first time last semester. About 6.5 people signed up, eight for credit. Because of the enthusiastic response, Metro on the Mall decided to offer it this semester, said coordinator Carol Svendsen. This semester the Chorus will be led by

Michael Clardy. Clardy, a sales manager with an interior design company, has a music degree from Western Michigan University. How did he get the job? "I sang for them last semester. (MSC music professor) Jerry McCollum is a friend of mine. ... It's going to be a lot of fun." The Chorus will focus on show tunes this .semester, including selections from Camelot and Hello Dolly, Clardy said. In May, the Chorus will join with the MSC Oratorio Choir for concerts on campus and on the 16th Street Mall. But other concerts depend on the progress of the singers. "(We'll have) as many (concerts) as we can get ready for," Clardy said. So far, 10 people have signed up for credit, while 30 more have signed up for fun. "We expect a similar turnout to what we had in the fall," Svendsen said. Interested singers can enroll through Jan. 31. For more info.rmation call Carol Svendsen at 623-1500. D

Beer and pizza to liven homecoming festivities

A mini-carnival, a spirit party, three bands, a basketball doubleheader and a dance will highlight the activities during MSC Homecoming Jan. 27-29. The festivities will open Wednesday with a mini -carnival from 10 a.m. to 3 p .m. each day in th e Student Cent e r main corridor. The carnival will include midway booths furnished by Elitch Gardens. The booths will be a fund-raiser for MSC clubs. A spirit party is planned for Thursday in the Mission from noon to3p.m. Alive band will perform and the MSC cheerleaders and men's and women's basketball teams will attend. Men's coach Bob Hull is scheduled to speak. Homecoming activities culminate Friday with a full slate of fun . Starting at 5:30 p.m., the MSC women's team hosts the Univer-

The men follow by hosting the University of Puget Sound, tipoff scheduled for 7:30. Halftime of the men's game will feature a red wagon parade of floats built by students clubs. Admission to the games is free to MSC students with a valid ID, $4 for general admission, $2 for non-MSC students with a school ID, and free to children under 12 or fans over 6.5. Prizes will also be awarded for the best float, the club with the best participation and for the best banner. Immediately following the games will be a dance featuring two bands and all the Rocky Rococco pizza and Coke you can eat and drink for $2. While you're eating, Avant Garde will warm up for The Bratz, who will play until 2 a.m. Coors beer will also be served during the bash, which is open to the public.

The Student Facilities Policy Council voted 4-1-1Jan.18 against proposed price increases of cigarettes and pastries in campus vending machines. The SFPC, a board made up of representatives from Auraria's three institutions, sets policy and procedure for student-funded campus buildings and lounges. Canteen Food and Vending Service approached the board with the proposal last December when it learned that prices of the items would be raised by the manufacturers. The proposal called for an increase of 15 cents for a pack of cigarettes and 10 cents for 12 different Hostess pastry items. Six cents of the cigarette increase and 3l~ of the pastry increase would have gone to Auraria as commission. Canteen won the contract for the vending machine service from ARA Services Inc. last July 1. The contract will run for several years but calls for no increase in prices for at least one year, according to board member Dan Becker. Becker said his reason for voting against the increase was two-fold. "One of the things that allowed Canteen ·over ARA, which was here, was that they would not bring up prices,'' Becker said. "There is a contractual agreement and one of the stipulations was that they would not raise prices for a year. "Second, I'm looking at the negotiations and everything that went into the decision

to have Canteen. That decision was not diluted, and you have to respect their (the negotiators) decision." Cary McManus, manager of Auxillary Contract Services for Auraria, said the defeat of the price increase could hurt students more than the SFPC realizes. "My guess is that Canteen will come back with higher prices in July to make up for the losses they'll take," he said. "In the long run, it'll hurt a greater part of the population; they11 end up taxing candy bars or others items." He added that Auraria would like Canteen to come only once a year to negotiate prices, but now that may change. "Now that the spirit and trust of the agreement has been broken, they (Canteen) may end up coming every month to negotiate,'' he said. The vote is a recommendation to Auraria and not binding. McManus said he felt the people from Canteen acted in good faith in bringing the price increase to Auraria, but that the matter would probahly be dropped. "It doesn't hurt us (AHEC) , so I don't think we're going to pursue the price increase." Becker said he didn't think the vote would hurt price negotiations when the one year price freeze stipulation runs out next July 1. "I don't see why the price changes are going to change their negotiations," he said. "We didn't say, 'No way, you're not going to get a price change.' I think reasonable price changes can go into effect at that time (July 1, 1988)." D

Addiction recovery linked to nutrition Monique Curtis Reporter

An MSC instructor has co-authored a novel guidebook with a controversial approach for the nutritional needs of recovering alcoholics. Anne Hatcher, Ed., R.D ., instructor for Addictive Behaviors for more than nine years, believes the role of nutritional counseling in the treatment of recovering people has been largely overlooked b y the medical community. "It's not a scientific thing we're talking about," she said. "It's an emotional experience. Most medical people would not like to look at the relationship between nutrition and behavior. It's just too controversial." Hatcher said that people who give up a substance, such as alcohol, very often end up battling transfer addictions - giving up

one substance only to become addicted to another- be it chocolate, sugar, cigarettes, or even addicting relationships. She said that another side effect, weight gain, is especially common in young women and can lead to problems with bulimia, anorexia, or both. "There's a lot of stuff going on, other than just the alcohol," she said. "Stage One is getting rid of the substance and Stage Two is figuring out how you got there in the first place." Although several publications concerning dietary needs for alcoholics are available to medical personnel, few are actually directed to the recovering addict. Hatcher said that the two books she is familiar with are inadequate. One of them, she said, offers an unproven theory for nutrition that Hatcher considers dangerous. The other, written by a doctor, is directed

toward people with college degrees who are also familiar with medical terminology, making it very difficult for the average person to understand. Hatcher solves this by writing in lay terms, giving advice about eating healthfully, building a balanced diet, understanding the link between nutrition and alcoholism, and improving self-esteem through health and fitness. She also tries to dispel many widely believed dietary myths. "The information in our book is appropriate for people recovering from any kind of substance abuse ... glue sniffers, · cocaine addicts, pot smokers, etcetera, as well as for non-addicts, because of its common sense approach to promoting a healthy lifestyle." Because a recovering person is often left without the support of a family unit, Hatcher has included a sample of 90 recipes that can be adjusted to the needs of cooking

MSC's 'Honor'-able symposium Diane Gemma

Reporter

The MSC Honors Program is sponsoring a symposium Jan. 28 in the Student Center for high school and MSC students who "show evidence of sufficient personal commitment and academic aptitude to do honors-level work." "Inherent Values of Education" is the thrust of the symposium, which features keynote speaker Frank Newman, president . of the Education Commission of the States, who will speak on the "Challenges to Students in an Expanding World." The

program, which runs from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m., includes a panel discussion and a question and answer session with the audience. Dr. Alain Ranwez, director of the Honors Program, said high schools from metropolitan Denver have been invited to the symposium. Officials of the Honors Program, which began last fall, want to encourage incoming freshman as well as upperclassmen and transfer students to join the program. • "There ai:e.a lot of good people here, and we want to up the image of this campus," Ranwez said. ·

The program covers six core areas and plans are underway to expand. Ranwez said the subjects now part of the program include English, music, philosophy and modern languages, as well as other "activities outside the academic walls," such as theater and opera. "We've never had a symposium on undergraduate education." He said he hopes it will offer international perspectives on education, inform students on what to look for in coursework to enrich their lives and provide awareness of students' responsibilities "as citizens of a shrinking world." D

for one or two people. Jack Mumey, Hatcher's co-author and former radio personality, is the author of such alcoholic help books as Loving Q~ Alcoholic and The Joy of Being Sober. He currently heads the Gateway Treatment Center in Aurora and is a recovering alcoholic. His contribution to the books, Hatcher said, was absolutely necessary, because of Mumey's knack for being able to explain things simply. Although they do not have plans for further projects, Hatcher said they're both pleased with the results of their combined efforts. Good Food is avail.able at the Tattered Cover Bookstore for $16.95.

----------0 P-ED Prerequisites for new president r

•

Sometime around the middle of next summer, the governing board of Metro State College will name the school's next president. The announcement will probably come amid little fanfare, and most students still won't know his or her name halfway through winter semester. Yet whomever the winner, that person will be the fifth president in the last four years. An alarming statistic when you consider that the average NFL head coach, a notoriously insecure employee, keeps his job longer than the average Metro president. But not so alarming when you discover that several of the past presidents were interim presidents, fellows granting a search committee the time to painstakingly review the files of over one hundred applicants in order to make a competent choice. Such is the case now. Interim president William Fulkerson will have been on the job for a full year when the new president {or the interim president is named to the position, if you know what I mean) is officially named. So as the search committee pores over file after file and resume after resume, it's appropriate that some extra prerequisites for the job be identified. First, the new president should have Metro connections. Who else, besides Fulkerson, knows the true meaning of what MSC means to its students? Outsiders who have never attended a class or felt the unique spirit of MSC ~on't appreciate it for what it is: .a school servicing older, non-traditional students as well as younger, traditional students. It's a school with faculty who can identify with the struggles of the student taking 15 hours and raising three kids; or the student whose SATs weren't quite good enough for the state school; or the student who can't afford to live more than a few miles away from home and work. Second, the new president must realize that to its

students, Metro is a real college. We understand that we pay real money for tu ition and have real jobs tha·t pay our real bills. And we hope that in return we are getting a real education. Sometimes it seems as though we lose sight of the fact that Metro is not meant to be the Harvard of the west. Metro's main role is to give everyone, not just those who can afford it or those who show an incredible understanding of the theory of relativity, a chance at higher education. Third, the new president must understand that the job entails a commitment of more than a couple of years. Metro is like few other colleges. It doesn't need to be told that it is an urban institution that should act like all of its sister schools. It needs to be told that it can accomplish what it will and not have to worry about which level of athletics the school will compete at in three years. Or glitzy ways it can make a name for itself in four short steps. Fourth, whoever fills the position will have to be merger-proof. The president will have to understand that talk of a merger between Metro and UCD has been going on for a long, long time. And it will always go on for a long, long time. It seems Metro's balance sheet must show some pretty impressive figures. Everyone from the CU Regents to the Auraria Board want to be part of the money cow called Metro State. But merger is out of the question if Metro is to retain its important function in the state of Colorado.

Questions remain To the Editor: Your articles on Martin Luther King Jr. (The Metropolitan, Jan. 15) were appreciated and timely but I have a few questions. Why is MSC, a creature of the state of Colorado, not observing a holiday U~at the State declared? How does reporter Shirley Bonner "honor the man" - by attending classes? Why wasn't this issue addressed in The Metropolitan? The administration office said that MSC is bound by law to a certain number of school days to explain the scheduling. That is a lame excuse not to respect this important day. Many semesters in the past have started mid-week so this one-day break could be accommodated in a number of ways. This neglect of Martin Luther King's Birthday demonstrates flagrant insensitivity - not only to black people but to all of those who oppose injustice, hatred, and ignorance. Diane E. Miiier MSC Student

'THE HEf\bLESS HORSEMAN' Cartoon by J11y M1nfr1 his acceptance speech is finished . When speculation rose last year that Paul Magelli was preparing to resign, a Metro professor told me he was not bothered by the rumor. He said presidents have come and gone but Metro has gone on and on. Certainly a healthy attitude given the revolving door in front of the president's office. But a president who will give more than two years in residence to the school is just what Metro needs. Metro may go on and on, but a " permanent" president will allow it to go farther and farther. - Robert Ritter Associate Editor

Body building: the flesh of su ~

Shlrley Bonner

Reporter

He drags his body out of bed before daWo, driven by the thirst for strength. Standing barefoot before the mirror, her eyes trail down her body, slowly studying every muscle for any sign of ~owth. He slips on his sweats; she slides into her leotard. She has just enough time to scrub her face. A quick rake of his modified mohawk hair style and it's combed. He gulps a handful of vitamins and is out the door. She is already on the road. Headed to similar places miles apart, Kristine Leigh Braun, 19, an MSC sophomore majoring in criminal justice, arrives at an Aurora fitness center the same time Donald Charles Weese, 20, also an MSC sophomore in criminal justice, walks into a Longmont weight training facility. The two do not know each other yet they share the same passion - body building. Braun and Weese have dedicated years of hard work to the sport. They hold championship body building titles as a result of their efforts. In March 1987, Braun beat out six contestants to win the Northern Colorado Body Building Championships, teen class title. That win allows her to compete iq the USA Teenage competition scheduled for June 17-18, 1988 in Houston. Weese holds the title of Mr. Teenage Colorado Body Builder. He secured the title after winning the Boulder Body Builder Championship title and the Colorado Mr. Teenage Championship title in August 1987. To achieve these titles, Weese sacrificed his social life and Braun jeopardized her health. Weese, who got into body building in 1983 when he was a 15-year-old Longmont High School sophomore, spent up to six hours a day whipping his 6-foot-3-inch, 180-pound body into shape. He worked · out around his studies and a weekend job. Food and sleep were the only other things in his life for two years. Today he weighs 252 pounds and nothing but muscles protrude from under the clothes he wears. And he parties, making up for the social life he missed. Referring to his high school days, he says, "I didn't have enough of a social life in the good old days, so now, today are those good old days. " Like \.Veese, Braun became interested in weights when she was 15 years old. She was a cheerleader in high school and rather thin. "Everybody made fun of my skinny legs," Braun says. "One of the cheerleaders asked me how I could jump up and down without breaking something when I was cheerleading." Concedin~ that her body needed improvement, Braun began power lifting to put some muscles on her body. Two and a half years later, Braun turned to body building after she sustained an abdominal injury that incapacitated her for nearly three months. Despite the costs that Braun and Weese have incurred, they still practice the sport. «It's an addiction," Braun says. "I enjoy working out. I can't give it up. I love it." Seeking her high, she walks into a fitness center , surrounded by the clamor of pumping iron and the grunt of self-inflicted pain that accents the smell of sweat floating throughout the gym. Slie finds herself a spot and begins stretching the tightness from her muscles.

Soon, her body is ready to absorb the pain that the iron bars and bells will weigh against her 5-foot-10-inch frame and pull against her strength. Six days a week she subjects her body to a ~-hour workout. The first two days of the week, she works her back and biceps. The next two days, she pumps her legs and shoulders. And the last two days, she gives her chest and triceps a workout. By the end of the week, every muscle in her body has been stretched beyond its limit to make room for developing muscles in a body that looks as if it needs no further improvement. Able to deadlift 305 pounds, Braun, a former tllen model, hangs a necklace of a dumbbell around her neck. The jewelry is a reminder that strength and femininity can complement one another. Braun says that in the male-dominated sport, she sometimes encounters a few who believe there is no such thing as a lady body builder. They consider them Amazon people instead. Although such images are fading, some women body builders do fit the Amazon role. Braun recalls being in a locker room and getting dressed when she overheard what sounded like a man's voice behind her. When she turned around, she saw that the person talking was a woman body builder who happened to be too muscular. "Steroids," says Braun. 'Tl! never take them." Braun thinks it is fine for men to take the pills because their bodies are intended to be muscular, whereas women's bodies are not. Instead of striving for bulk, women body builders strive for proportion, Braun says. The blond-haired athlete says she is attracted to body builders who have muscular bodies as long as "their e~os are not bigger than their biceps." Weese doesn't know the size of his biceps, but one look shows that it doesn't matter. His bulging and sliding muscles noticeably fill out the extra-large sweat shirt he wears. He doesn't talk much, but recalling the first image of Weese one realizes that doesn't matter either, "Body building builds confidence," Weese says, "You realize you can accomplish your goals. But I'm realistic. I don't go after what I can't have." Believing that becoming a professional bodo/ builder is too competitive and therefore not realistic, he has no further plans to compete in shows. But Weese's decision to drop out of the spotlight has not discouraged people at cable station ESPN. According to Weese, the sports station wants to talk to him about his body-building career. Weese said he doesn't know exactly what they want to discuss because he hasn't returned their phone call yet. Instead of a career in body building, Weese wants to travel abroad and eventually become a U.S. marshal. Remembering the social life he missed in high school, he says, "I don't ever want to say I had a chance to do a particular thing and didn't." Body building for Weese is a goal that he · is accomplishing. "I saw my potential," be says. "Every time I'd go into the gym, I'd be a little stronger. fd anticipate being stronger. It felt good because I saw that I was gaining. That's what drives me... a

Film offers new view of Vietnam War

Good Morning, Vietnam, unlike its gritty predecessors Platoon and Full Metal Jacket, presents a Kodacolor bright side-

lines view of the war while offering some constructive glances into the war's effect on both Americans and Vietnamese alike. Director Barry Levinson has always had a knack for capturing an era on film. The Natural, Diner, Tin Men and now Good Morning, Vietnam display his trademark. The audience sees his touch in everything from the simple vividness of the picture to little things like names. People named Eddie, Marty Lee and Dan 'The Man" Levitan just don't seem to be around much anymore, but in Saigon 196.5 they were everywhere. Essentially, the film is the story of Adrian Cronaur, an Air Force disc jockey, assigned to the Armed Forcej Radio Network in Saigon. While in Saigon, he becomes aware of a war he never seemed to believe existed. While Levinson's previous films tend to focus on a group of men doing lots of male bonding, Robin Williams dominates this film with his manic portrayal of Cronaur. In fact, I think he could probably get a job at a radio station of his choice, after

Interviewing Thursday, January 28 11:00 A.M. to 1:00 PM.

But Cronaur's story is not all hyper radio broadcasts, and Williams shows good range of character as he moves from studio to bombed cafe to tiny Vietnamese village. One scene shines through, however, showing both the war's effect on Cronaur and his growing disillusionment with the military. Watch closely the scene after he returns from the bombed cafe and must go on the air to be funny and carefree. Williams' acting is not only good, it also gives the audience a clue as to just how hard comedy can be. While Williams does a good job, other performances, though small, were excellent. Forest Whitaker, who plays a shy, naive soldier, does a gciod job when his character must make a stand.

Another demonstration of the difficulty of comedy is Steve Hauk's attempt to fill in for Cronaur. While Hauk, played by Bruno Kirby, genuinely believes he's funny, the jokes are so bad the audience winces in their seats. Those who have seen other Levinson films will recognize these elements as normal, but they will he surprised to see that it doesn't stop there. Levinson goes a step further into the issue than he generally does, taking a look at the mark Americans left on the Vietnamese. Before Cronaur becomes a radio celebrity, be falls for a young South Vietnamese woman named Tren. He thinks asking her out will be easy. After all, he's an American. It does not occur to him that he is invading a culture hundreds of years old. He finds out quickly, because when they finally do go out, it is with a dozen chaperones in tow. The scene is funny, but it also shows in a nutshell the basic American attitude in Vietnam. Because the Americans were there to "protect" the South Vietnamese, they thought it gave them carte blanc~e to do as they pleased. I like this aspect of the film because it makes me think about something not usually brought up in other films of this category. Just when it seems everything has been said about Vietnam, Levinson comes up with something new. The movie is not perfect, though. For instance,_ much of the Vietnamese dialogue-is buried under thick accents and rapid speech. The audience may miss some important lines near the end because of

this. Also, the chase/confrontation sequence · Cronaur and Tren's brother is unnecessary and out of place. Levinson already shows us bis viewpoint through ' earlier sequences. Why drop that subtlety and throw in a very blantant messagebearing scene? But even with these problems, Good Moming, Vietnam is a good film that raises some interesting questions and tries very hard to answer them. D betw~n

Mixing of art and technology leads to an artist's success Jana Cohlmia Reporter

:.-

,,...

Startling white light pours in the solitary window, reflecting off the freshly fallen snow. The room is so cold you can see a faint trace of warm breath. A pure white l"anvas hangs on the wall, empty, waiting for life. Around the canvas lies the clutter of paintbrushes, tools and drawings strewn about on the gold shag carpet. This is not a fancy place. But for David Mesple, the artist who brings his ideas to fruition in this converted garage-cum-studio, it fits. Mesple, 37, an MSC drawing teacher since 1983, is not a fancy person. He looks more like a student than a teacher, most often found in faded blue jeans, a sweat shirt and white leather high-top tennis sboes. When he walks, his shoulder-length hair bounces up and down, following the curve of his neck. And when he smiles, which he often does, his bearded, angular face softens. But inside lies a complex man. A man who considers himself different from most people. "fmnotspecial;l'mdifferent,"hesaidin an interview at his Lafayette home and studio. "I am really driven to do things. Every day I am presented with choices to work hard or take the safe route, and I ~ost always go with the riskier choice." Even as a child Mesple found himself interested in unusual pursuits. "Whenlwasaboy,myinterestswerenot mainstream; I wanted to stay home and make things," he recalled. So while other kids were outside playing football, he was spending 20 to 30 hours a week in the family garage constructing objets tf art including clocks, sculptures, crossbows and go-carts. "By the time I was 17, I could make anything I could see." As an elementary school student in San Francisco, he often visited the museum, where his most vivid memories are of the Egyptian mummies that so captivated his young mind. Slowly he would creep to the end of a long, dark hallway to gaze upon the mummies. "They were so beautiful and ugly at the same time," he said. "It was like walking home in the dark, so frightening and

mysterious." The museum trips and-the hours spent in the garage were the beginnings of a lifelong devotion to art. As an undergraduate student at California State University at Sacramento, he majored in physics and art. In his last semester he dropped the physics and devoted himself to art. That decision was tlie result of a lecture he had attended given by artist Joseph Raffael, who spoke of the commitment and sacrifices necessary to being an artist. "It scared me more than anything I had ever heard, and I was so distracted by what he said that I thought about it every day for six months." It was then he made a commitment to being an artist. He went on to earn his master's in Fine Arts from CSU at Sacramento. Since then he has experimented with different art forms including drawing, painting, sculpting, assemblage and collage. Mesple currently has a one-man exhibit titled Electro-Collages, sponsored by Xerox Corporation and Kinko's Copies. It began traveling last September to galleries and museums in Grand Junction, Golden and Gunnison, and will continue through 1990, making stops in California, Hawaii, Oregon and other states. The exhibit is a collection of pictures called xerographs, in which color copy machines are used to create images. Mesple begins with a "spontaneous vision," picturing in his mind what be wants to create. Next, he gathers the objects he needs to represent his vision, such as a shirt or playing card. He places the items face down on a copy machine and duplicates the image. Since the working space on a copy machine is the size of legal paper, Mesple must create his picture in sections of that size, later assembling them to form the whole composition. For example, if the image is a man's arm holding a paintbrush that stretches across the picture, the arm, hand and brush must be copied in sections and assembled, like a puzzle, at the right places. This process of mixing art with technology is Mesple's method of challenging his viewers to look closely at their world. "I want people to examine what is around them and not be complacent," he said. "What they choose to do after that is their business; I can't force it." To accomplish this, he presents conflicts in his work, such as the struggle between

Metro cagers frozen in Alaskan shootout Robert Ritter Associate Editor

The MSC men's basketball team traveled north to Alaska for a pair of games Jan. 15 and 16 but ended up shooting only icebergs in a pair of losses in their conference openers. The Roadrunners shot 31.4 percent from the field in a 75-49 loss to the University of Alaska-Anchorage, while the Seawolves hit 44 percent of their shots. ~fetro started slow and hit only eight of 30 shots from the field and UAA raced to a 39-24 halftime lead. The second half proved no better as the Roadrunners made eight of 21 shots and UAA kept increasing its lead. Head coach Bob Hull said his team discovered some things about Anchorage they can use in the future. "They've got five guys that are all real competitive and talented. They've got a good solid team," he said. "We'll have to play well to beat them down here (Feb. 13)."

Hull also said turnovers plagued Metro. Freshman guard Derrick Fuller turned the baJJ over a season-high nine times, and the team gave the ball up 26 times, also a

season high. T.J. Milan, who moved to a forward spot from guard, hit for 14 points in 19 minutes. And Rich Grosz, who played despite a bout with the flu, scored 10 points and grabbed nine rebounds. The next night, the Roadrunners got a little hotter, hitting 47 percent from the floor for the game, but still lost 68-65 to the University of Alaska-Fairbanks, the Roadrunners' fourth loss in a row. Metro outrebounded U AF 36-20 and committed only 15 turnovers but could not overcome UAF's 38-32 halftime advanta~e. But in the second half they hit three of four free throws compared to UAF's 10 of 12 from the line, a fact which bothered Hull. "You have to be 10 to 12 points better to beat them by one point up there. You just don't get the calls. You have to play errorfree to win," he said. To illustrate his point, Hull said Metro trailed by two points with a minute left in the game and was called for a three-second lane violation, a rare call at such a late stage of a game. Hull lost Grosz halfway through the second half as Grosz lost his bout with the flu. But he got strong performances from

The loss to UAF was the seventh game on the road in which the Roadrunners have shot poorly from the field. "You've got to play a little better to win on the road," Hull said. "We haven't shot better than 50 percent on the road. We're stiJJ struggling a little bit offensively. "(But) we've got a lot of guys who can come in and play. We're getting contribution from everyone. Shun did a good job

and T.J. is playing b etter at small forward," he added. The Roadrunners, 8-7 overall and 0-2 in the conference, get ready for their next conference challenge on Jan. 23 against Eastern Montana College at the Auraria gym at 6:30 p.m. HuJJ said he expects a tough challenge. "That's gonna be a big game. They were in the Division II Final Four last year and they have a few guys back from last year's team," he said. D

Lady Cagers lOse 3 more The highlight of the Regis confrontation came when MSC took the lead with 3:12 left in the second half. "We were down by 13 points in the second half, and we came back and took the lead and we were up by one," coach Cindy Cuthals said. "It was pretty close to three minutes left when we took the lead. "Wh en we got that one point lead, I thought for sure that we were going to pull it out. Especially because we'd been down . We'd played behind the entire game," Cuthals said. "The momentum changed and I thought this is going to be it." MSC then missed a couple of shots and Regis hit a three-pointer which put them ahead by one point. Cuthals called time out to tell the girls to get the ball to co-captain Wanda McCall.

Elizabeth Rees Reporter The MSC women's basketball team con· tinued its losing streak last week with two losses at home and one on the road. The Roadrunners lost Jan. 14 to Adams State College 65·54. The University of Denver defeated them 80-66 Jan. 15 at home. In their closest game, the lady Roadrunners were defeated by the Regis Rangers at Regis 68-61 on Jan. 19. Despite these losses, foreward Carrie Hershfeldt has recorded three doubledoubles (double figures in points and rebounds). She went 17-12, 12-13, and 1712respectively against ASC, DU and Regis.

She was to drive the ball in to score and draw a foul. That would give them the opportunity for three points. Guthals didn't want to push her team toward long-range three-point shots which they \veren't hitting early in the game. On three of McCall's drives she was fouled. She hit the basket on the third attempt. However, on the fourth and final drive McCall made, the ball was hit out-ofbounds under the MSC basket and Cuthals called time out. The team attempted to set the ball back to McCall so she could drive the baseline. The officials called a charging foul against McCall. Regis controlled the ball for the rest of the game. Cuthals isn't complaining about the officials, but she still feels the call was bad. "We had two of the best (officials) in the league,'' she said. McCall's return to the court after missing four games has boosted the confidence of the team. "The kids play with a different kind of confidence when Wanda's on the floor," Guthals said. If Guthals had everybody healthy and back, she knows the losses would have been a different story. She suited only nine players for the games last week and they were just tired. The team travels to Southern Utah State College Jan. 23, the Air Force Jan. 26 and returns home to meet the University of Northern Colorado Jan. 29 at 5:30 p.m. D
