ELECTION '88 >-Student politicians get an early start on spring campaign

Jim Manuel Editor

Two veteran MSC campus politicians got a big jump on . their potential campaign rivals by announcing their presiden" tial tickets for student government more than two months before the election. Student Senator Dan Becker, presidential candidate, and Patti Calkins, student senate secretary and vice-presidential candidate, announced Jan. 29 their intent to run. Both have been active in student government this year and pledged to continue the current administration's policy of <... effective student participation in the college's policy-making process. "Martin Norton (current student government president) has done a lot to bring government back to the students," Becker said. "We want to help pass that torch on." Both Calkins and Becker emphasized the importance of I-' I. s_taying in touch with student desires. "How can we lead if we don't know what the students want?" they asked . "It's important that students communicate with us." Among their plans to involve students with important campus issues will be a weekly forum aiding students in preparing letters to their legislators commenting on the new ~financial aid laws. "There are a lot of problems in the Financial Aid office ' -both internal and external - due to the amount of money that comes from the legislature," Calkins said. "Most students don't even know who their representative is," Becker said. "The forum will help them write the letters not put words in their mouths." Parking is another hot issue that the two plan on monitoring closely. The alternatives right now are building a multilevel l structure - at a minimumum 1 t cost of $5,000 per space or buying land west of the campus for additional space, which will cause security problems. "The five thousand dollars per space is a very conservative estimate," Becker said. "People I've talked to have said six to seven thousand dollars is more realistic. If we build a 1,000 space structure, we're looking at possibility of seven miJlion dollars worth of bonds." Using outlying land for additional parking would be , cheaper in the short term, but would pose costs for security, Becker said. "What is going to be least expensive for the students?" he asked. "We must offer alternatives to the students." They have several ideas about campus safety, including having an alarm system similar to fire alarms installed in the 路 buiJdings that would immediately alert Public Safety when a t ' person was threatened. "We need more resources," Calkins said. "The woman who was assaulted in Lot 0 (Oct. 5) really needed help. "We need the Public Safety people to be more visible on campus also," Calkins said. "The whole program needs more money." 0 The election will be the week of April 4th.

Auraria Public Safety officers arrested a man who exposed himself to a female UCD student at the Auraria Library Jan. 2.5, said Lolly Ferguson of the Auraria Pubilc Safety office. The suspect, Robert Pierce, is being charged with indecent exposure. "The female student was studying in the library when she observed Pierce playing with himself at the next table," Ferguson said. She told some young men at a nearby

table, and with them she confronted Pierce and asked him to stand up and explain ~ what he was doing. Pierce left, and she immediately reported the incident to Public Safety. "We got a very good description that was aired to the officers," Ferguson said. "The officers contacted Pierce, and the victim positively identified him. We placed him in,, custody. "Here was somebody who was headsup- afraid of the person - but was cautious enough to get some assistance from someone nearby." D

------NEWS-----Woodard blasts amendment â&#x20AC;˘ >

Chad Morris Reporter Colorado Attorney General Duane Woodll!d said Feb. 3 that passing the English language amendment would in effect say that other languages are not as good. "These things should be behind us," he said, referring to any legislation that doesn't allow cultural diversity to flourish. Woodard spoke Wednesday at St. Cajetan's Center on the amendment proposed by Rep. Barbara Phillips, RColorado Springs. He said if Phillips had worked as hard on legislation to promote preschool language classes and reducing adult illiteracy, there

would not be a problem with a society with more than one predominant language. Phillips first introduced the bill in early 1987, but withdrew it in March of that year after Gov. Roy Romer promised to veto it. She did not have enough support to override the veto, so she opted to petition for a constitutional amendment. By October of 1987, she had enough signatures to assure its appearance on November's ballot. Woodard said Phillips was supposed to be present at St. Cajetan's, but refused and has before refused to debate the issue in public with him. "It's like throwing a hand grenade into a room and then closing the door," he said. Phillips stated Feb. 2 that her schedule

was too full to appear, but that the Colorado Official English Committee welcomes the opportunity to speak, although not on confrontational grounds. In his speech, Woodard cited numerous reasons as to why the amendment should be voted down in November. Going all the way back to the PiJgrims, he said it was their desire not to conform or assimiJate that led them to America. "This adventurism created atdynamic, vibrant society, making it the greatest, strongest country on Earth." He also said the most decorated ethnic group in the last three wars was Hispanics. "How can you question their patriotism?" Phillips said that even with the questions the bill has raised, she is confident it will

Bill would give more power to Auraria Jana Cohlmia Reporter

.â&#x20AC;˘

The Auraria Board of Directors could soon wield more authority over its three institutions if House Bill 1126 passes the Colorado Legislature next spring. The bill, proposed Jan. 28 by Rep. Paul D. Schauer, R-Littleton, would expand the authority of the Auraria Board, which was established in 1971 to maintain and manage the Auraria campus and its three institutions: -Metropolitan State College, the University of Colorado-Denver, and Community College of Denver. The board currently has the statutory duty to "plan, construct, own, lease, operate, maintain and manage" the physical facilities on the Auraria campus and to allocate suitable space for educational needs. If passed, the bill would expand that duty, allowing the board "sole authority to purchase, plan, construct, own, lease, operate, maintain, manage, or dispose of" any off-campus facilities used by MSC, UCDorCCD.

According to Geralyn Reinardy, assistant to the executive director of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE), the bill would eliminate problems in purchasing classroom buiJdings, such as problems the University of Colorado experienced last semester when attempting to purchase the Dravo building in downtown Denver. In that case, the CU Regents (UCD's governing board), the CCHE and the Auraria Board disagreed about whether CU's purchase of that building would benefit the Auraria campus. An article in the Rocky Mountain News stated that the CCHE rejected the purchase because it was inconsistent with the theme of the Auraria campus. If the bill passes, the Auraria Board would have authority in these cases. According to Morgan Smith, executive director of the Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC), current planning procedures at Auraria are piecemeal and inefficient. 'Tm not sure it (planning) has ever been done,'' he said. "The four institutions

(Metro, UCD, CCD and AHEC) need to coordinate their efforts " in determining the space requirements for present class schedules and in planning for new classroom buildings. In addition to expanding the Auraria Board's authority, the bill calls for a twopart "master plan" that would "maximize economic and administrative efficiency at the Auraria campus." The first part, to be formulated by the in~ividual schools, would be an "academic master plan (for each school) ... addressing issues relevant to the role and mission of each institution and academic program requirements for fulfilling that role and mission." The second part, to be formulated by the Auraria Board, calls for a "comprehensive academic master plan." Upon completion, the CCHE would submit the plan to the Colorado General Assembly, at which time funding requests would be considered. The deadline for submission of the first-ever "master plan" is March 1, 1989. According to the bill, " the general

assembly shall not consider facilities funding requests for the Auraria campus ... for the 1989-90 fiscal year untiJ the reports ... have been submitted." Reinardy said the Commission approves of the bill. "We (CCHE) support this bill,'' she said. "I've heard from the governing boards of Auraria's schools and from the schools themselves that AHEC has not been diligent in assuring adequate classroom space, and this bill would clarify the role of the Auraria Board in acquiring space." According to Schauer, the goal of the bill is to streamline the organizational process on the Auraria campus and to formulate the "master plan." "We need to put one institution (Auraria Board) in the position to be responsible for the long-range planning of the campus," to eliminate the schools repeating each other's efforts, he said. " We need to recognize we're in a period of limited resources (from public and private funds) and it's necessary to work together to maximize the resources from both the public sector and the individual institutions." o

Enrollment cap lift will mean $1 million Jana Cohlmia Reporter

Âˇ.

Hundreds of new MSC students will travel the halls this semester packing more than new books - they'll also bring with them $1 million in additional state support money. The Board of Trustees, MSC's governing body, lifted the school's enrollment cap for spring 1988 following a decision last fall by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE) to allow the lift, said Jett Conner, interim director of Enrollment Management at MSC. Although the college has no way of determining precisely how many more students will attend Metro this semester, administrators estimate 500 additional fulltime equivalent students for the 1987-88 fiscal year, said Tim Greene, interim vice president for Business Affairs. What this means is more money for Metro. The school is partially funded by the state based on enrollment, receiving approximately $2,000 per full-time equiva-

lent student. However, it takes about a year and a half for the funding schedule to catch up with the higher enrollment, which means MSC will not get its additional funds until spring 1989, Greene said. "MSC should receive an additional $500,000 of state general fund money in 1989, and then in 1990, the year of the first full impact, it will receive another $500,000," he said. He added that the increase in funds wiJI "give the college more money to educate the total number of students." MSC has an annual budget of $3.5 million, with an average yearly increase of about 5 percent, Greene said. The extra $1 million, however, would be a "base" increase and would apply toward non-inflationary items such as computers, lab materials and hiring additional faculty, he said. Greene added that "the higher revenues would help to contain the increases intuition." Although the additional funds would be an asset to Metro, there is also a

disadvantage. "We may see overcrowding of classes, particularly at the popular times of the day when students want to take classes and teachers want to teach," such as morning or early afternoon, Conner said. "It will force the college to re-examine the way it organizes the schedule, in terms of redistributing the locations and the times classes are offered." The enrollment cap was first imposed in the fall of 1985 by the CCHE. According to Charles Manning, deputy director of the CCHE, the cap was imposed for several reasons: to distribute students to colleges and universities where enrollment may .have been lacking; to limit the state's cost for funding colleges by limiting the total number of students; and to distribute students to the school where they would have the best chance for success (based on high school performance). According to the CCHE's fall 1987 enrollment report for state colleges, community colleges and universities, enrollment is up overall by "4.4 percent for Colorado

public institutions." The report also states "the largest increase in the four-year sector were at the Consortium institutions (MSC, Western, Adams and Mesa), which increased by an average of 9.2 percent." When asked if the more even distribution of students allowed the cap to be lifted, Manning said that may have been a part of it, but the main reason was that Metro met its admission standards. The admission standards, imposed in 1986 and revised in 1987, are a combination of the Scholastic Aptitude Test, the American College Test, grade point average and high school class rank. The standards apply only to traditional students (those 19 years and younger). However, up to 20 percent of traditional students who have not met the standards may be admitted by "exception.'' As long as this number is kept at 20 percent or lower, the cap will remain lifted. o

Legal services will be available soon on campus T.J. Hutchinson Reporter

The MSC Legal Assistance Program came out of limbo Jan. 29 after receiving final approval for funding from Dr. Tobin Barrozo, MSC provost and vice president of Academic Affairs. The program should begin assisting students in legal matters ranging from traffic citations to divorce by mid-semester, according to Dr. David Conde, assistant vice president of Student Affairs. A board formed from two members of the MSC student government, UCD representatives and Yolanda Ericksen,

director of Student Activities, will make arrangements for appointing a director and hiring legal counsel. The board will also set parameters for the type of assistance the program will offer. The budget for the program is $14,881 for the rest of the spring semester. The board will work from this figure to prepare recommendations for the Student Affairs Board. The program.has been in limbo since last semester and pressuring by student government members has brought it into reality. "(T his) is one of the major accomplishments of student government,"

Conde said. "I think (they) should be congratulated for keeping their nose to the grindstone." It has been over a year since MSC pulled out of a similar UCD program. School officials felt at the time that money expenditures and operation procedures for the program were unclear. UCD dropped the program after MSC left. Although an MSC project, there are talks of a possible UCD buy-in. "At this point it is an MSC program. The

participation of the University of Colorado will be one that is mutually comfortable and acceptable," Conde said. "We intend to see that if the (UCD) students are served, it will be without ambiguity. v\"e don't want to repeat history." Conde added that this type of program is especially important for ~1SC because of the students it serves - there are more legal issues since the students are in a more adult world. o

The Institute for Intercultural Studies and Services at MSC has invited representatives from Denver's government, media and police force, plus local business people and professors, to participate in the Fifth Black World Conference on Wednesday, Feb. 10. In conjunction with Black History Month, there will be four panel discussions of to pics of importance to the black community: the shaping of our society by the media, apartheid, the criminal justice system and African roots.

The 14 panelists asked to attend include Ray Montoya of Channel Nine News, Linda Mizell-Taylor of the American Friends Service Committee, Joe Webb of the Denver Police D epartment and Dr. C.J. White, professor of sociology at MSC. Dr. Vincent Harding, a professor at the Iliff School of Theology, will give a keynote address, and the lrepo Afrikan Dancers and D r umm ers will give a short performance after the last panel discussion.

U.S. postal blues Been wondering where your U.S. posta1 mail has been lately? Thought about blaming AHEC Mail Services? Before you pick up that phone, consider the fact that the 7th Street office has experienced quite an increase in workload since UCD's Information Center closed in the East Classroom building. Last year on a daily basis, Mail Services averaged 2,500 to 3,000 pieces of mail per day. So far this month the office has handled on the average of 7,000 pieces of mail per day, according to a Support Services spokesman. AHEC took over UCD's mailings Jan. 1. "We anticipated an increase in volume, but not to the degree we have experienced so far," the spokesman said. In order to get a handle on the increased workload, AHEC is in the process of making "operationa1 modifications," the spokesman said. Anyone with questions regarding U.S. postal and intercampus mail can contact Support Services at 556-3280.

Writers wanted The Denver Woman's Press Club is looking for that unknown writer (defined as those who have never received as much as $50 for any one piece of writing) to enter its Tenth Annual Unknown Writers Contest. Entries, accompanied by a $5 entry fee, must be postmarked no later than March 11 and mailed to Unknown Writer's Contest, Denver Women's Press Club, 1325 Logan, Denver, Co. 80203. Typed manuscripts with a professional appearance will be accepted in four categories: Adult Short Story- up to 2,000 woJ:ds.~ Eeatur.e Miele - up to 2,000

words; Opinion Essay on a subject of social relevance - up to 2,000 words; Poetry no length, form , or subject restrictions. First, second and third place winners in each category will receive cash prizes and will be honored at a luncheon.

Weights are for kids Think you've got the body of a winner? Bigger than ... Well, applications for the 1988 Collegiate Bodybuilding Championships and Novice Open scheduled for Feb. 6 at the Denver Auditorium Theatre are still being accepted through the MSC Student Activities office. From 9 a.m. until midnight Feb. 6, students enrolled in at least one credit hour of classes in an accredited institution of higher learning can compete in the bodybuilding competition at the arena, located at 14th and Curtis, according to a campus spokesman. Participants may pick up entry forms at MSC Student Activities or at the Mission, in the basement of the Student Center. For more information call the MSC Bodybuilding Program at 556-2708 or Student Activities at 556-2595.

Instructor recognized Mary Ann Loeffler, associate professor of recreation at MSC, was elected midwest director of the National Theraputic Recreation Society recently, according to campus spokeswoman Renee Allen. An instructor at MSC for nine years,

Loeffler said, "Basically we (the Society) help promote public awareness and support for theraputic recreation by speaking and giving workshops. Loeffler holds a bachelor's de~ee in theraputic recreation from the University of Colorado at Boulder and a master's from the University of Northern Colorado. She also holds a physical education teaching certificate from CU, Allen said. Loeffler is also on the national board of directors for NTRS and is president of the Colorado Theraputic Recreation Society as well. The Metropolitan encourages students and professors alike to tell us about achievements and awards received. â&#x20AC;˘

Need help? Phone home! Need help finding a class? Confused about where to go to obtain a parking permit? Then 556-4200 is your number. Dialing this number will put you in touch with Metro's "phone bank," located in the Central Classroom. Employees said operators field questions ranging from "Does Metro offer a music major?" to "Where is the book store?" "We get all sorts of interesting questions," said employee James Arroyo. "We try to help people, and if we can't answer the question we direct them to someone who can."

Established last July, the phone bank averages 80 calls a day, half of which come from students on campus, and the rest are outside inquiries about the college. The

goal of the service is to help current students and increase the number of prospective students by offering quick answers to basic questions, employees said. Answering the same questions might get a little boring, but employees said they have a lot of fun too. "One lady called and said she dropped her fingernail polish on the 'highway' and wanted to know who would clean it up," Arroyo said. "We thought she was pretty strange until we realized she was saying 'hallway,' not 'highway.'"

An almost free lunch Applications for Associateships for artists, writers and scholars with the Rocky Mountain Women's Institute are available and must be submitted by March 18, according to a news release.

John Brubaker has a cause. And he wants others to share it. That's why the 40-year-old MSC journalism student is taking it to the top. The top of the United States government, that is. Because his c ause, currently publicized in the form of a brochure entitled The Supreme Court Amendment, involves a change in the U.S. Constitition. "I read the Constitution every now and then," Brubaker says slowly, his voice matter-of-fact. "I think everybody should read the Constitution. It is readable." While the heavy-set man with the dignified salt-and-pepper beard finds the material readable, he also finds something objectionable. And about a year ago he decided to take action. "Article One and Article Two on the legislature and the presidency are very adequate articles. (But) Article Three, in my own opinion, about the (U.S.) Supreme Court, is very inadequate," he explains. How can that be? "When the Supreme Court was set up, nobody really knew if it was going to work. Nobody knew what it was or what it would do. "There are a list of things that the Supreme Court could relate to, like maritime offenses, but whether it would have

three members or 17 is not described,'' he continues. As a result of this inadequacy, Brubaker says, the number of justices on the Supreme Court fluctuates. And so does the number of justices each president appoints. For instance, "George Washington and Franklin D. Roosevelt made eleven and nine appointments respectively, but W.H. Harrison, Zachary Taylor, and Jimmy Carter chose no one," Brubaker writes in an essay, The Supreme Court Amendment. Therein lies the problem. Brubaker's solution is an amendment proposing that each president should appoint two justices to the Court every four-year term. In the present system, the president makes appointments when a seat is vacated. "That is the core of it, a matter·of fairness of distribution of appointments. And there is also the problem if the Supreme Court becomes lopsided toward a conservative or liberal position - it tends to lock in," he says. According to Brubaker, the Supreme Court is slightly conservative, and if in the next eight years a Republican serves as president, the two very liberal positions on the Court (Brennan and Marshall) could be replaced by two very conservative ones. "(Then) you will have the most con-

Vote, make an impact ~-

Upon entering college three years ago, my Freshman eyes were inclined to expect the campus to be a bastion of political action. Of course, Auraria wasn't a campus in the traditional sense of the word, but political activity among the students (in a demonstrable way) was expected. What I was soon to discover was that the Auraria campus was very much a small-scale model of the rest of the United States. Yes, there were exceptions. Students in the Political Science department, those involved with CoPIRG, and members of the young Republicans and Democrats, to name a few, seemed to possess a much more "get involved" attitude. On the whole, however, Auraria students, much like most . Americans, show precious little interest in politics as they go about their business of getting graduated and eventually employed. In a way, that's good. I would hate to think that the American college campus wa.s on a completely different wavelength that the rest of the nation. The· idealism of youth today is directed in a practical manner, toward securing a solid future for themselves. I can't honestly say if that's the way it has always been. I wasn't around to watch during the late 60s and early 70s. If political interest has changed, time will tell as to whether it has been for better or worse. 1988, however, is an election year. If ever there was a timefor a college student to dip his or her toes into the political mainstream, now would be it.

I came into political awareness and grew up in the years of the Reagan adm inistration. I remember Jimmy Carter's presidency, but it really didn't matter at thirteen years old. My point is, this election year will be my first real political change that I will be able to truly appreciate and observe. I suspect the same holds true for many other students. So why not participate in some way? First and foremost on the list would be to actually exercise the right to participate in a general election and vote. Imagine, however, the furor that would be raised by regulars in both political parties if students actually participated in caucuses! The small group of people (like special interest groups, party activists and elected officials) who are used to being the sole voters in picking their nominees and their delegates would see a new excitement enter the system as young people everywhere (providing they are registered with either party or are independents) exercised their right to participate in a caucus vote. Student activism in politics doesn't have to be anything along the lines of the " Berkley wanna-be's" of Boulder. Teargas hurts and accomplishes nothing, save the embarrassment of the residents of Boulder. Voting, on the other hand, does have an impact, especially at the precinct caucus level. People all over the globe are willing to Cilie for just such rights and privileges. To squander them seems useless. -Evan Haros MSC Student

In AHEC's defense Dear Editor: I thought that Robert Ritter's Jan. 22 OP- ED piece, " Prerequisites for a New President," was generally excellent. Metro has always had a " unique spirit," as you indicate, and has done an extraordinary job despite the rapid turnover in leadership. I was concerned, however, about your reference to AHEC as "a landlord that disregards the school's role in higher education and recognizes only its fiscal earning potential." Our relationship with Metro is, in my opinion, excellent at this point in time and we are committed to keeping it that way. President Fulkerson and his staff are doing a terrific job and we support their efforts. Morgan Smith AHEC Executive Director

"I know that you're in love with him 'cause I saw you dancin' in the gym - you both kicked off your shoes ..." 路 American Pie by Don McLean "The attendance for tonight is a record crowd of 982," the announcer's voice bursts out over the loudspeaker at the MSC men's Homecoming basketball game Jan. 29 to a mass of cheering fans. The Auraria gym was charged with energy - Metro started with a lead. A sea of faces stuffed popcorn in their mouths between cheers and obscenities. In the next court over, the upside-down wedding cake streamers of silver and blue hung quietly, waiting for the Homecoming dance as the players pounded up and down. The Metro State Roadrunners insisted on a close game against the University of Puget Sound Loggers and kept the fans nervous. When the score was close, a Logger's basket lifted a small line of fans off the bench cheering loudly in an otherwise quiet gym. "Air ball," anxious Roadrunner fans shouted when the Loggers missed. The end was fierce. The refs ran up and back too, sweating; their whistles hanging from the sides of their mouths like tired dogs. Finally, the Roadrunners snuffed out the bright yellow and green of the Loggers, making the final score 72-65. 路 "We came back and pulled together as a team to win the game," said Metro guard Chris Roper with a grin.

After the game, the bleachers were cleared and folded away and the stage set. The streamers were lifted to the longawaited spot in the colored lights. Beer was a dollar. Pizza and Coke were free (please pay $2 at the door). Bands Avant Garde and The Bratz were popular with heavy metal fans, while canned steam rose up in the beams of light onstage and drifted toward dancers nearby, making for a dreamy night at the gym. Behind the blue plastic curtain hanging from the tall ceiling, near the beams and parallel bars, couples lingered. One man, happily bidding folks farewell and holding a huge piece of pizza that he gobbled hungrily between words , became irritated suddenly. "This pizza stuff gets all over you," he said as he wiped a saucy hand across the breast of his tweed jacket. !\ow free of mess, he was once again content. Homecoming actually started earlier in the week - it was carnival time in the Student Center. Four MSC clubs set up games starting Wednesday of Homecoming week as fund-raisers. One try at each booth was 50 cents. The F~eshman Club had a fairly tricky game. The object was to total points either under 11 or over 31 by rolling six balls toward numbers at the end of a board. The Rugby team probably had the easiest game - three milk cartons and a bean bag. (Try to knock them down.) "It's great. It's fun. It's exciting," said rugger Jeff Porter. "It's probably better than sex," said booth attendant Chris Arthur. Delta Lambda Epsilon, the criminal jus-

tice fraternity, had two booths. One was a free throw shot - impossible to make. The other, "Gunball," used a rubber-plunger bullet gun to knock down three plastic glasses. A surprisingly difficult game, but definitely the best prizes: purple, blue and pink teddy bears, and big stuffed pink flamingos. When asked for a comment, booth attendant Ray Alarid said, 'Tm a Virgo." The last game, sponsored by the Society of Minority Engineer and Technology Students, was called "Bowler Roller." The

object was to tr) or slow enough I the track and ke "This is the tc sponsor Shan ~ have won." A Spirit Party afternoon gave chance to introdt age students to dance on Friday "I don't think'

The game, the last item on the Homecoming agenda before the dance, fueled the entire night; the highs of victory spilled over into the Homecoming Bash. Finally, though, the electricity sparked and fizzled. Dancers got tired, and folks had their fill of food and drink. A final chord fell from the guitar player's thumb, and the last beer was spilled. It was worth coming home to. D

Hispanic salute honors Metro vice president John Gegner Reporter Dr. Antonio Esquibel says with humble pride that he has achieved in one lifetime what most Americans would take three or four generations to do. Esquibel, MSC's vice president for Student Affairs, was honored Jan. 30 for a career of achievements and contribution to the community at the Hispanic Annual Salute at the downtown Raddison Hotel. This year's salute was a tribute to the late Sam Sandos, three-term city <:ouncilman from Denver's west side, who founded the event to recognize the volunteer efforts of Hispanics whose contributions resulted in the advancement of their people. San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros, perhaps the most noted Hispanic politician in the country, gave the keynote speech to the gathering of about 1,000 at the gala event. Several years back, the title of an article about the MSC vice president, "From Migrant Stream to College Dean," captured the essence of Esquibel's success story. As the son of migrant farm workers, he and his 12 brothers and sisters traveled throughout Colorado and Kansas working in the fields during his youth. Esquibel said that by the time he reached the sixth grade he had gone to 10 different elementary schools. 路

He graduated from Englewood High School in 1960, and upon the advice of his English teacher and counselor, he sought a job in which he could use his hands. "They were always telling Chicano kids to get manual jobs," Esquibel said. He worked for four years at Martin Marietta as a line assembler until he was laid off. From there he moved to Alamosa, his wife's hometown, and got a job as a custodian at Adams State College. "I saw students at Adams State who weren't any smarter than me, and here I was cleaning toilets," he said. Soon afterwards he enrolled at Adams State and in three packed years graduated with a teaching degree. Ironically, he returned to Englewood High to replace the retiring English teacher who had once advised him to seek manual employment. While at Englewood, Esquibel started a Spanish class for native speakers and also a ' Latin American student club. When Denver's West High School "blew out" in 1969, he and his Chicano students walked out in protest and marched to the West High campus in support. He was the only Hispanic teacher in the Denver area to do so. That same year Esquibel also engaged in a nine-day fast at the state Capitol to support farm workers' right to organize. Martin Luther King Sr. visited the protest, lending his support.

Esquibel went on to receive his master's from ~ew Mexico Highlands University in 1973 and his d octorate from the University of ~ew M~xico in 1977. In 1980 he returned to Denver and was appointed vice president for Student Affairs at MSC. From his position as the highestranking Hispanic administrator at a fouryear institution in the state, he has worked diligently to make sure MSC does its part in promoting se rvice to the Hispanic community. Among his many volunteer involvements, Esquibel is a board member of Hispanics of Colorado, a member of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and a founder of the Colorado Institute for Hispanic Education and Economic Development. He and his wife, Lala, have two sons, D Antonio Jr., 16, and Tomas, 9.

History can be the key toward halting of racism T.J. Hutchinson Reporter "We need to make our children strong enough to deal with what we had to deal with. That's the only way to stop racism," Those were the words of Dr. Gwendolyn A. Thomas after accepting an award for her contributions during Affirmative Action Week last Oct. 4-10. Thomas, assistant vice president on lnstitu tional Advancement for MSC, received the special award Jan. 6 from Denver's branch of the U.S. Postal Service's affirmative action group. The plaque was awarded for her speech

about the "values of knowledge of black experiences and black heritage," she said. The speech focused on the importance of educating youth. She said she feels it is important for the young to understand their history - not only to continue fighting for necessary changes, but to feel the importance of the strength black people had in the beginning of their struggle. "There's a failure to understand the present without recognizing the strengths of the past. We have to perpetuate those painful realities," she said. She also said she feels that it is important that all people understand their cultures in order to have a pluralistic society. D

Fears and stereotypes do not allow society to share cultural diversity Montez L. Horne Graphic Artist

One of the exceptional things about the Auraria campus is the cultural diversity it has to offer. Every day we are exposed to people from all reaches of life and every cultural understanding. This exposure surely benefits us all, teaching us a valuable lesson in human acceptance. Maybe I've just been walking around with my head in the clouds thinking that the rest of the country was learning to revel in cultural and social differences rather than be fearful of them. Now again I'm understanding this to be just a result of my idealized student ways. A recent experience helped to clear up my rose-colored vision. While painting window murals in an upscale Cherry Creek shopping center, I happened into a rather silly predicament. I was working in some vacant retail space, a row of empty shops each featuring a large picture window awaiting a fabulous floral fantasy to decorate its gray exterior. The spaces were connected by short hallways, off of which were located the sink areas. I hadjust let myself into one empty shop and then gone to fill my bucket with water to clean a few brushes. As I entered the connecting area, the door opening into the space I was to paint shut behind me. When I turned to open it, I learned that it had automatically locked behind me. I tested my master key on it and found that it did not work.

someone's attention and have him go into the unlocked room to open the door that held me hostage. Covered with paint and in my artist's garb, I climbed into a prominent display window and waited for people to walk by so that I could get their attention. My hopes were not easily met, as a string of blue-haired, fur-clad women walked by, pretending not to notice my knocks on the windows and pleas for help. I was shocked, but continued to tell myself that maybe they just didn't hear me. Finally, one woman acknowledged my presence. I attempted to explain my situation to her, but when I asked her for help, she immediately became fearful and began to back away. She explained that she would just go tell the shop owners and let them assist me. What was the fear that ran through her mind then? I soon recognized what it was I saw in that woman's eyes. Her response was little different than that I might have given a street person asking me for change or a person of questionable intentions wanting to use my telephone.

I 0 H N

Now, I had hardly ever considered myself to be the switchblade-bearing type, so I was led to question why this woman was afraid of me. I showed her my keys and gestured toward the paintings I had done, but her discomfort would not be that easily subdued. Eventually, she did open the door for me, but she ran off before I had a chance to thank her. I was able to finish my work without further incident, but the confusion and humiliation I felt at the response of the people who could have helped me has left a lasting impression. I am now given to wonder how many people I have refused assistance because of my own irrational fears and stereotypes. I am going to take heed next time I begin to allow these sorts of unjustified reactions to ruin someone else's day or possibly give them cause to think just a little less of themselves. And I will continue to be evermore impressed by those situations when the people I meet treat the cultural diversity of the Auraria campus as a growing experience rather than a dividing o one.

H U G H E S

I am now given to wonder how many people I have refused assistance because of my Irrational fears and stereotypes. Unintimidated by this small stroke of bad luck, I continued into the next retail area to unlock the door from the inside. Again, my key would not work. I headed toward the next door, and then the next, all along the line until I had reached the end of the row of shops. It was only then that I truly realized the extent of my misfortune. There, in my dark, cold, empty prison, I realized that I was trapped. All I would need to do, I rationalized, would be to ~et

servative court in the history of the United States, quite possibly," he says. Since justices can serve as many as 30 years on the Court, Brubaker's proposal would generate more turnover. A base number of nine justices would serve, with the number going as high as - but no more than - 11. If a president appoints a twelfth justice, the ~ justice who had been on the bench the longest would be bumped. "I would not want to bump justices who had been extremely good, though. I would allow the exception that Congress could make a justice bump-proof." Brubaker's amendment would also call · c for two female and one black justice on the Court at all times. "After at least 103 years of serving the United States, there is finally one female and one Negro on the Court. Females, slightly over half the population, have had ~ less that one percent of the membership on the Court. less than one fiftieth of their fair share. Much too little, much too late," Brubaker writes in his essay. Brubaker realizes he's dealing with a complicated issue, one that most people might not understand right away. That's

why he's seeking to update and simplify his current draft of the proposal, which he says he wrote basically for lawyers. But his original draft hasn't gone to waste. He sent copies to representatives on both the local and national levels. "I may have picked a very bad time to mail it out to Congress because they leave just before Christmas." Trying to see some humor in it, he adds, "If you think typing 500 and some labels is fun ... it's terrible - about all your mind can take." So while he waits for some response, which he acknowledges could take a while, he's preparing himself for a revision several, if necessary. But throughout it all, he seems very optimistic, as though there's no doubt Congress will pass his amendment - or at the very least, consider it. "We're not disastrously inadequate," he admits. "{But) I think we can improve the old system." Anyone interested can send for copies of his draft by writing to Supreme Court · Amendment/ P.O. Box300565/Denver, CO 80203. Cost is $2 per copy. D

Lady cagers suffer yet another setback Elizabeth Rees Reporter

Just when the MSC ladies' basketball team appears to gain ground, something pushes them back. The team's third-leading scorer, Wanda McCall, quit the team last week "for personal reasons,'' coach C indy Guthals said. McCall's d efection meant Guthals was able to suit up only seven players for the Roadrunners' 88-61 loss to the University of Northern Colorado Jan. 29, Metro's 11th loss in a row. McCall missed four games over Christmas vacation because of a commitment to ROTC flight training. She returned during the Regis game two weeks ago to score in double figures and left the team two games later. She is the third player to quit the team, following Heidi Keyes and Valerie Spencer. A fourth team member, Sharon Weber, is on injured reserve. Against UNC, the Roadrunners shot only 30 percent from the field and made only five baskets in the second half. The Bears hit 45 percent of their field goal attempts and outrebounded Metro by 21. Heart and desire keep the team going, however. The Roadrunners had four players in double figures in the loss to U.'.\C. Forward

Carrie Hershfeldt led the team with 13 points while Stacey Branvold, who swings between guard and forward, hit for 12. Point guard Verna Julaton and forward Trina Forsey scored 11 each.

'Runners suffer O.T. loss Robert Ritter Associate Editor MSC men's basketball coach Bob Hull must wonder why a free throw is so named - his players can't even seem to buy one. On the other hand, the Denver University Pioneers could not miss from the free throw line as they whipped Hull's Roadrunners 69-63 in overtime Feb. 2. Pioneers guard Pete Faller, an 83 percent free throw shooter, hit four of four free throws while teammate Rusty Knox canned three of four in the last 45 seconds of overtime to ice the game for DU . The Pioneers made 20 of 28 free throws for the game. Metro, meanwhile, hit only four of nine from the line in overtime and 15 of 30 for the game. The Roadrunners were also cold from the field, hitting 36 percent of their shots compared to DU's 42 percent. Denver started fast, jumping to a 28-16 lead with eight minutes left in the first half. Faller scored 11 in that stretch. Metro guard Chris Roper came off the bench and held Faller to one point the rest of the half as the Roadrunners climbed back into the game, trailing 36-29 at the half. Hull revamped his starting lineup for the second half. Reserves Shun Tillman and Rodney Wecker joined Roper and starters Shefrie Staples and Todd Javernick as the Roadrunners tied the score at 46 midway through the half. For the rest of regulation, each team could manage only eight points and Tillman's baseline jumper fell short with six seconds remaining to send the game to overtime. In the extra period, Derrick Fuller hit a three-pointer and Staples, who played a strong inside game to finish with 18 points, scored three points and the Metro team trailed by one point with one and a half minutes left. But that's when the Roadrunners' free throws didn't come.so cheap. Tillman missed two in a row and Kirk Smith missed the front end of a bonus. After Smith's miss, Javernick rebounded and fed to Tillman, who was fouled. He made one of two to knot the score. But then on the inbounds play, Smith fouled Faller, Metro's hopes crashed in and Hull was understandably miffed.

clock and we were down by 27, they were still playing to win," she said. What lies ahead for the Roadrunners? ~ ..Tur ee away games and six home games. We fly to Montana Friday (Feb. 5) and return Sunday (Feb. 7) and then meet Denver on the ninth . Then we're home for the rest of the season. "Everybody we've played has been tough. It's a good schedule. There's no way to take anybody lightly," she said. The Roadrunners hope for the return of Sharon · Weber in order to change their game plan. "Sharon is a good outside shooter and allows changes in the offense," Guthals said. MSC meets Eastern Montana College Feb . 5 and 6 in Billings. They return to face Denver University Feb. 9 at Denver. The next home game is Feb. 10 at 6 p.m. against Mesa College. The Roadrunners are 2-13 overall and 0-7 in the Continental Divide Conference. D

"You just don't make foolish fouls like that. That's one of the silliest plays I've ever seen," he said. "He (Faller) kills us every time. All our guys can do is foul him." After Faller hit the two free throws, Roper missed a three- pointer and the Roadrunners were forced to foul again. Hull said Roper's shot was the one he wanted. "We \.vere going for the last shot and the win. We wanted to penetrate the gap. Chris took a good shot," Hull said. The loss drops the Roadrunners to 11-9 on the season. They travel to Southern Utah State University for a Feb. 6 game and return to host Regis College on Feb. 8 at 6:30 p.m. D
