Prof's book details mob~Kennedy link Mark Hamstra Reporter

Mafia strongmen plotting to kill the president. Seductive spies. Cuban revolutionaries.

No, these are not characters from a new television mini-series. They are just a few of the real people in Kennedy, Castro, and La Cosa Nostra, a book MSC history teacher Frank Nation bas almost finished writing.

"My central argument is that the U.S. government set out to use organized crime to influence foreign policy, but the tail ended up wagging the dog," he says, referring to the connections between the Mafia (La Cosa Nostra), Cuban exiles and the Kennedy ~nations.

Nation's manuscript traces the gangsterfilled underside of United States political history from the years leading up to the Kennedy ~inations through the Watergate break-ins.

Although it will focus largely on the alleged conspiracy to kill John and Robert Kennedy, Nation says that the most distin~ tive feature of his book is that it gives comprehensive histories of all the people who were supposedly involved.

"Most people have had all these names and dates just thrown at them," he says, "but rve developed the stories behind the names."

He bas followed the trails of some of these people from their pre-Kennedy ties to the CIA right up through their involvement in the Watergate break-ins. He says that he may have even found some connective threads from the Kennedy era to the lranContra affair.

Like any good detective trying to solve a mysterious murder, Nation has put in hundreds of hours delving through evidence.

He has spent two summers researching in the Kennedy Libraries, studied the 12-volume House Assassination Committee's evidence report, read through interview transcripts and conducted some interviews personally.

In addition, Nation has been teaching courses on political ~inations, Nixon and the Kennedys at MSC for several vears.

Although he has not yet contracted ~th a publisher, Nation says he is confident that he will be able to get his book published. He has been ~ing the ~ibility of publication with the Alfred ~f publishing company and hopes to have the book available by November-in time for the 25th anniversary of John F. Kennedy's aswsination. o

Seminar awash In optimism

Student reps meet Jim Manuel Editor

The Estes Park Holiday Inn's whirlpool was awash with more than a few beers and a few exultant Auraria campus politicians Feb. 21.

Student representatives from all three campus student governments were celebrating a day-long show of unity and a productive session of presentations by Auraria executives.

The two-day retreat, organized bv MSC student government President Martin Norton, brought together the students and the executives to discuss major campus issues like parking, safety and a new P.E. building referendum.

"I thought it was excellent," said Morgan Smith, executive director of Auraria Higher F.ducation Center. "H we do it again, rd like to have more of my people there for a longer period of time. There were a lot of good

r

questions and a lot of good answers."

Norton said he believes this was the first time three student governments have collaborated on an event of this nature.

"We didn't solve anything," he said "But we laid the groundwork for students to have a bigger voice with Auraria."

During Smith's two-hour presentation, be told the SO-person audience that people shouldn't forget Auraria's role.

"What we're here for is to provide higher education at a reasonable cost," be said.

"This is the only place a person can arrive as a high school dropout and leave with a graduate degree."

Auraria's mission will become more important as years go by, Smith said. The trend today is to find cost-efficient means of education. As more p~ure is placed on the economy, it will become more difficult to o provide affordable education.

Board ready to report on student senate violations Jay Hauptman Reporter

The MSC student Judicial Board is investigating the Dec. 16 student senate meeting for ~ible constitutional violations.

The five member Judicial Board settles student government disputes and in~rets the ASMSC constitution.

H declared unconstitutional, all actions taken by the senate from Dec. 16 to present will also be unconstitutional and therefore nullified, associate justice C. Mason Golden said.

In the judicial report at the Feb. 17 senate meeting, Golden said the investigation arose from a complaint filed by Senator Russ Larson.

The complaint questions whether three pro-tempore (temporary) senators elected themselves to full-time senate positions.

The pro-tempore senators were used to establish quorum, the minimum number of senators required for official business, ASMSC President Martin J. Norton said.

The meeting was conducted during finals week. Because of this, Norton said, senators were arriving late and it was ~ to appoint the three pro-tempore senators.

After enough permanent senators arrived, an official quorum was reached and theprotempore senators stepped down form their interim positions, Norton said At that time, a vote was taken and the

three pro-tempore senators were elected to full-time positions, Norton said Under the constitution, this was proper procedure. But Larson's complaint questions whether the pro-tempore senators actually stepped down or whether they voted themselves into office, Golden said. ,. All senate meetings are tape-recorded, and a review of the tape should have clarified Larson's questions. However, the tape was missing until Feb. 15, Norton said. ''The tape wasn't really lost, but it wasn't marked, so we bad diffficulty finding it," Norton said "l must have been here until nine looking for it one night."

The tape was turned over to the Juditjal Board and, according to Chief Justice Laura Bohlender, the board has reached a decision and will make its report by the March 2 senate meeting.

In the meantime, one senator has resigned out of frustration, and eight people have been subpoenaed to testify before the Judicial Board.

Sen. Richard Link shocked the senate by resigning, citing his frustration with the investigation as his reason.

"I think this investigation has gotten way out of hand," Link said The Judicial Board is pushing the investigation to the absolute letter of the law, Link said

----NEWS---System handicaps student Pam Rivers Reporter

It was 1:58 p.m. the day Wilma Merhar, 62, handicapped by a respiratory disease and recently divorced from her second husband, discovered she had yet another pro~ lem - a parking ticket, issued by the Auraria Parking and Transportation Services.

"I felt ill, and I panicked," says Merhar, a warm grandmotherly figure on the verge of tears as she recalls the day.

Merhar is not a student, but she attends a support group at Auraria offered by MSC's Institute for Women's Studies and Services.

She seeks help through group interaction, hoping to put an abusive childhood and two abusive marriages behind her.

To her, the ticket was another blow of injustice and inhumanity administered by society's sometimes cruelly objective hand.

Merhar made the mistake of parking on the south end of Ninth Street Park in an area reserved for handicapped individuals with the appropriate AHEC parking permit. It is the closest area to Merhar's support group, located at 1033 Ninth Street Park.

Did Merhar see the blue and white sign

that reads, "Parking with AHEC handicapped parking permit''?

"AHEC? What's that? It meant nothing to me at the time I got the ticket." Merhar didn't know AHEC was the acronym for Auraria Higher Education Center, familiar to some, but foreign to an individual who parked regularly in front of signs the same color as the one where she received the ticket. She doesn't bother to read the words on handicapped-parking signs.

The interview is interrupted by Merhar's search for quarters. She waddles out to feed a 45-minute meter about 50 steps away from the infamous parking space, her heavy-set torso shifting angrily from side to side.

Walking is good therapy for Merhar, now enrolled in an exercise class on campus.

She continues.

"I really didn't think it applied to me," she says with conviction. "I have a handicapped license plate issued by the state. It (license plate) should apply everywhere."

But the incident does have a positive side - it provides an anecdote for Merhar, a published writer. She has written two articles for Safe House Journal a newspaper publication catering to abused women.

Merhar hasn't any formal education. Her father took a dim view of educating women and, consequently, didn't encourage his daughter's intellectual pursuit.

"I don't know the first thing about writing," Merhar says. But she does love learning from human interaction and then putting her thoughts on paper. Her support group has been very rewarding in this respect, she says.

What recourse does Merhar, who exists on a monthly fixed-income of $527, have for solving the ticket problem? 路 "Oh, I told them I wasn't going to pay for .!l it," she says firmly.

"There is no malicious intent or arbitrary $' factors that enter into who gets a ticket and ~ who doesn't," says Mark Gallagher, assistant director of Auraria Parking and TransHandicapped Wiima Merhar doesn't understand AHEC'I p1rklng rules. portation Services.

Words become weapons for freedom Jana Cohlmia Reporter

When Craig Bowman wages a war, he arms himself with the most powerful weapon of all- his knowledge of language coupled with quick strokes of his pen.

"When a black man pulls out his weapon and it's a pen, that's control," Bowman said.

"If I can use the language, and use it well, then I've got power."

Bowman, who spoke Feb. 18 in the Student Center, battles for, and sometimes against, education every other Thursday in his Rocky Mountain News column. And on the subject of education, this 1970 MSC English graduate and Alameda Junior High teacher has strong opinions.

The system is "literally training the minority poor how to fail," Bowman said. He spoke as part of campus activities for Black History Month and was sponsored by the MSC Lecture Series.

Bowman said that beginning with the first indentured servants in the Virginia Colony in 1619, blacks have been kept from learn-

ing how to use language successfully.

In the days of slavery, he said, one of the worst crimes was to teach a black to read or write because it was such a "fantastic devaluation of property for the slave owner.

"One thing that has distracted me in education since then is that our system does an excellent job of selling minorities a bill of goods," he said. "Ifa black kid acts up or acts foolish, white folks will say, 'Well, that's just a part of his culture.' We let them act foolish because we don't want to seem racist, but what we're really doing is setting them up for failure.

"If one-hall of our students went to school with weapons, that would scare them (administrators) less than if they came with Machiavelli tucked under their arms."

Bowman told the small gathering of 17 people that because language is power, white America is afraid to let blacks learn the language successfully.

"When you learn the language, you know a man better than he knows himself," Bowman said. "It's also an economic issue.

White people say, 'Ifa black man can under-

stand the language, he can understand ine, my values, and my system, and he will know how it works.' " The dynamic Bowman stepped into the crowd, waved his hands above his head and 路called for educators to break this pattern and demand excellence from all students.

"Theworstones(teachers)arethosewho don't say to kids, 'Get your butt in gear and start talking responsibility for what you do,' .. he said.

Bowman also cited a struggle within pu~ lie education. On the one hand, he said, American education is revolutionary because it is offered, for the most part, equally to every person. However, in European cultures, education is based on one's economic, social and racial status.

"The notion ofjust anybody walking into a school (in America) and getting an education like Prince Charles (of England) did is a very revolutionary idea," he said. 路 To illustrate his point, he told the story of playing Bach on a pipe organ in a tiny Catholic church during a visit to Germany.

He looked up and noticed a young man

staring at him in awe.

"He came up to me and said, 'Excuse me, I don't understand, you are not of the right class to have this knowledge to play so well.' ..

The story, he said, shows how America differs from European cultures in that peopie of lower social, economic and racial classes at least have the opportunity to be well-educated, while in Europe that is not the case.

However, he said, while we offer minority students the opportunity for success, they are kept from actually achieving that success in subtle ways.

"We set up conditions that make it so much easier for minorities to go in a negative direction than in a positive one."

Bowman said this is done by not punishing students for such things as being late for class, ditching class or not performing up to their capabilities.

"The way to survive in education is to sit and do nothing, whether it's parents, teachers or students," he said. "It's when you start to move up and out of the ghetto that we have problems." o -

Student input can be the key to campus safety Judith Henrickson Reporter

Student input is an essential part of identifying problems on campus, according路 to David Rivera, Auraria Public Safety director.

Rivera, who spoke to members of the MSC, UCO and CCD student governments at a retreat Feb. 20 in Estes Park, encouraged students to communicate their needs and concerns to his office.

"We're looking for information on how we can better serve students, and we welcome your calls," he said. "We're there to help you."

Rivera said students have expressed concerns about dark areas on campus, the avail-

ability of safety escorts for parking lots and increased visibility of Public Safety officers.

He said his office has spent $40,000 in little more than a year on lighting improvements alone. He said they are \Yaiting for results from a survey done in December with the Public Service Company that will help them determine areas where lighting needs exist.

The lack of funds is a continuing barrier in their attempts to address problems on campus, according to Rivera.

"Most people don't realize the tremendous costs involved," he said. "One light pole can cost between $3,000 to $5,000."

Rivera said his office employs 12 full-time officers seven days a week, with three or four

visible on the campus at any given time.

He said student guards also give the office more visibility, but other demands place additional limits on the number of staff available.

"We receive 8,000 calls a year to investigate crime and an additional 800 requests to speak about crime prevention and safety," he said. "That reduces the staffing level on the street."

Rivera said the Public Safety office provides, for anyone on campus, a free shuttle from buildings to parking lots and safety escorts upon request, but told students they are not wt:ll used.

"We are working on better ways to get information to you," he ~d.

Rivera said he is also working with the newly-formed student government Campus Safety Committee to initiate new programs.

Judy Brooks, chairwoman of the committee, said committee members are currently working on a volunteer escort program. She said they are also working on safety education and women's self-defense programs.

"Students haven't come to us with concerns because we're not real visible yet. We have big hopes, but right now we're just getting started," she said.

Brooks said the committee will hold monthly open forum sessions starting March 8 and hopes to get more feedback from students about their concerns. o

New club on campus

Hey, it's recreation time!

Rollne McCoy Reporter

For most people, the word "recreation" conjures up images of relaxing at the golf course, park or beach - or just having fun.

But it has a more serious connotation for recreation majors and minors. They're the ones who make sure others have fun.

To help ensure that past and present MSC recreation majors and minors keep abreast of the latest trends in having fun, MSC students Ray Phillips and Mike Harvey founded the Society of Recreation Professionals (SRP) in early January.

Officially recognized by MSC since the end of January, SRP will offer members such incentives as lectures from professionals, the opportunity to participate in recreational activities and a monthly newsletter incorporating current trends.

"We represent all phases of the recreation field, be it theraputic, parks and recreations, or the commercial aspect," Harvey said.

Unlike some organizations on campus, the SRP isn't limited to current students.

"We plan to include the alumni so thev can let us know what is going on in th~ professional area. What kind of trends do they see? What should we be aware of when we're looking for jobs? Recreation is a changing field; what we cover in our books usually isn't applicable for very long. We're trying to bridge the gap between students and professionals," Phillips said.

The SRP also bas such proposed benefits as a computer data base system, which will assist students in internships and job placement. The club also hopes to offer student affiliation with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) and the Colorado Park and Recreation Association (CPRA). , Right now, students don't have to pay any membership fees to join, and although the SRP is eligible for student funding, members will fund themselves.

"SRP believes in the ability to design, seek and acquire revenue by innovative approaches toward financial gain ... a system that will encourage profitable fund-raising techniques through the creative ingenuity of SRP members," Harvey said.

One of the club's first fund-raising projects will be for a scholarship for recreation majors.

In the meantime, volunteer work at recreation centers and other service organizations is on the agenda. Harvey and Phillips believe the volunteer work will be valuable in networking in addition to providing community service.

The SRP has recruited roughly 100 members by word of mouth since the beginning of the semester. The only membership requirement is that students be recreation majors or minors.

They also hope to recruit alumni members to make the club bigger. They expect to be at their operating peak by the end of the 路 semester. o

No more sex, violence in lounges Chad Morris Reporter

The Student Center Advisorv Board (SCAB) decided Feb. 23 to u;vite the director of the Media Center to its next meeting to discuss adding channels to the televisions in the student lounges.

The board is a tri-institutional committee that reviews policies and procedures for the Student Center. Anv decision thev make goes to the Student F~cilities Policy Council (SFPC) for approval.

what additional channels students would like to have.

In the past, the televisions would receive any channel of the campus' closed-circuit network; but problems developed because some films used in criminology or psychology classes were violent or showed explicit sex, she said.

Because it was thought children might see the films in a lounge, filters were installed on the television cables. They allow a film to be viewed in a classroom but not in a lounge, Woods said.

Now that the problem has been resolved, Woods said she would like to see about getting local channels or others through Mile-Hi Cablevision. o

Students missing at self-defense seminar Shlrley Bonner Reporter

Had anyone attended the MSC selfdefense and rape prevention seminar Feb. 20, he or she would have learned how to better protect himself or herself from thieves and rapists lurking in parking lots and bushes.

But no one showed up.

Other self-defense seminars on campus have met with the same results, said Lolly Ferguson, technical services manager for Auraria Public Safety.

The Public Safety office has sponsored three such seminars on campus, she said. At the first one, two people showed up; at the

second, one person came; and at the last, no one turned out.

"It's always difficult on this campus to get people involved," Ferguson said. "It's not a horrendous situation that people aren't showing up. This whole situation is not unusual - you present something and no one shows up."

But they should.

Since January 1987, 26 sex-related crimes, . nine assaults and four robberies have occurred on the Auraria campus. Among these crimes, Public Safety has investigated eight indecent exposures, 16 sexual harassments, two third-degree sexual assaults and two knife assaults.

"I believe that with all the attacks on

campus, students are interested in learning how to protect themselves," said K.J. "Rusty" Steil, an instructor for the seminar, which was sponsored by the Auraria Taekwondo aub.

Steil said the club will again sponsor a seminar from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 12 in PE 104W. The instructors at the upcoming seminar will teach participants how to avoid muggings and sexual assaults, Steil said. ff people are better prepared, they may be able to prevent an attack.

Steil said that not becoming an easy target for attackers means thinking - outwit the assailant. Know where the all-night convenience store is to run to for safety.

Park or walk in well-lighted and high density areas to avoid encountering the dangers that dark and isolate areas invite, he said.

Ferguson said that because there is safety in numbers, students should make friends and walk with them when leaving campus late at night. If no one else is available, the Auraria Evening Express (556-3257) is.

The Express is an Auraria service that provides students, faculty and staff with rides to any place on campus between 4:30 and 10:30 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays.

The drivers can pick up riders within l 0 minutes of the telephone call for service, Ferguson said. o

Link is frustrated with the investigation because the Judicial Board hasn't requested a deposition from him.

Link also said his resignation "was intended to blind-side everybody."

Golden said Loest has not attended the last seven meetings.

The issue stalled because the Judicial Board has no by-laws or attendance requirements, and the senators had no basis for a decision.

In other matters, Norton alerted the senate that the Election Commission is up and running, and the deadline for declaring to run for office is March 4.

warlocks put pinch on punk music scene

Alex McCall Special to The Met

Who is The Cobbler and what is he doing hanging around with Warlock Pinchers?

"The Cobbler (MSC student Jeremy Haven) gave us our name. Or rather, we stole it from him. He thought Warlock Pinchers was the ultimate name for a Jteavymetal band. The Cobbler is our guru." So says Dan Wanush, vocalist for Warlock Pinchers, a Denver band suburban-punk would-be musicians aspire to be.

They've also earned the unofficial title of "most-maced" band.

At one particular show, a young man sprayed mace in Wanush's face during one of their songs, "James Dean is an Overrated A-." James Dean happened to be his name. Wanush now has a glass of water on hand at all times - just in case.

All hazards aside, why do they keep playing?

"We've seen too many bands just go out there (on stage) and stand there. We have a purpose - to offend - and we like to involve the audience."

This often entails assaulting their audience with food.

For example, at a January performance at Quigley's on the University of ColoradoBoulder campus, they did a scary version of "My Bologna Has a First Name ..." and · ~ blobs of the pink stuff. onto the audience.

Their fans don't seem to mind being pelted, and usually respond enthusiastically by jumping up and down, screaming and joining in chants such as "If This Rig's a Rockin', Don't Bother Knockin' " and "Steaks, Shakes and Pancakes."

"We try to concentrate on just having fun, rather than playing note-for-note," adds guitarist Mark "three-chord salad-king" Brooks.

In fact, when they recently played an impromptu set on the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, they were described by a passing Marine as "demons from Hell (where else?) jumping up and down on guitars."

They concede that such a statement is not entirely untrue.

Warlock Pinchers' sound lies somewhere

between sonic industrial noise, say, electric chainsaw on aluminum siding, and upbeat rap, a la The Beastie Boys. Maximum Rock and Roll magazine called them "cool garage rap" and gave their single, "This Is The Cobbler and He Hates Your Bellbottoms" a big thumbs-up. The band is also featured on two local music compilations. with their songs "We Prefer Cheese" and "Road to Ruin," which, along with the single, are available at area underground rearrd stores on My Tongue Records.

"We'd really like to put together an album, but it costs about $1,000, so it won't be happening any time soon," says bass guitarist Brian Murphy. "In the meantime, we'll play any day, anywhere, as long as it's in the afternoon." The band usually plays at Quigley's or at private parties, though they are actively looking for more places to play, especially in Denver. When asked what be thought about Denver's music scene, Murphy replied, "Isn't that a bar on Federal?"

The Pinchers celebrated two recent holidays in true Warlock Pincher style. At their Hallowee~ show in Boulder, the band members dressed to the nines: Wanush in a witch hat and kimono, Murphy in a skirt, and drummer Andrew Novick in a Satan mask. All treated their audience to a KoolAid shower. ("Everything was gummy for weeks.")

At their Christmas show, they shared pumpkin bread with the spectators, who hurled chunks of it right back at them while they played. ("They didn't even make it·into my mouth.")

This band is a needed change of pace from meaningful '60s retro-5Chmaltz or bumedout bar bands doing covers of covers of trash.

Says drummer Andrew "I use a Freon can and a cymbal; I wouldn't call it drumming by a long shot" Novick: "With us you get more gimmick for your money. Whether you come to love us or heckle us, just wear a belt ... Get to know us, you'll be none the wiser!"

Warlock Pinchers are definitely something to be experienced firsthand, and on Friday, Feb. 26, you will have the opportunity they will be appearing in a 24-hour music marathon at Golden High School. o

STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR?

You too can be a Photographer.

Working as an aide in a nursing home is very trying at times, but always rewarding, when you have the right attitude. When people discover what I do, their reactions are very negative, like, "Yuck" or "You have to be a special person to do that."

You don't have to be special for caring and loving, but you do have to be special to , work that bard for that pay. But I'm leaving the Christian Living Campus Nursing Home with more than paycheck stubs and a bad back.

You see, I have over l 00 grandparents.

I have a grandma who sings to me. I have one who calls me "B. J." and one who calls me "P. J." or "J. R." - and one even calls me "Mardine."

I have a grandma who bugs me. I have one who pinches me. I have one who dumps her beets in my lap, but she laughs at all my jokes.

I have a grandpa who boxes with me. I have one who asks me to bitch up the horses so we can blow the joint. One misses me when rm gone, and another tells me where to go. And one calls me "blue eyes" as he kisses my cheek goodnight.

And many of them love me.

They have all taught me so much.

They told me about the "olden days," the stagecoaches, woodburning stoves and outhouses.

They taught me patience, tolerance, caring and needing.

They taught me pain, hunger, thirst and desires.

Recently we lost one of our dear grandmas.

A e<rworker told me a saying she bad heard to help ease my grief.

"When I entered this world, I cried and you laughed. When I left, you cried and I laughed."

I guess that's really the attitude to have.

We are trying to make their departure pleasant, dign ified , and hopefully, comfortable.

But our theme is not preparation for death; it is living life with assistance, and my

job, other than the obvious duties of nursing assistant, is to make it fun.

We dance and sing with them, tease them, play games and tell them jokes.

We do everything we can to make a resident laugh or smile. And they make us ' laugh and smile. They also comfort us.

Last year, when I returned from my grandpa's funeral, I went to work feeling very lost. Both my real grandparents, my mother's parents, had died within months of each other. Two people who bad helped raise me were gone.

In despair, I sat near a sweet, disoriented resident and rested my head on the arm of her wheelchair. As I began to cry, she stroked my hair. I looked up at her and she dried my tears, which touched my heart. ' It is going to be bard to say goodbye to them. On a bulletin board near the nurses' desk, there is a countdown listing the days until graduation, the days until I have to say goodbye.

The most important thing I have Learned there is responsibility, not just for working and earning money. We are responsible for the lives of human beings.

If I am in a bad mood, it will affect the residents directly. I must be upbeat and attentive so they feel important and cooperate in their care.

It is hard for me to believe that soon I will be leaving and, hopefully, reaping the benefits of my education.

Someday the only old person I'll see will be in the mirror, or sitting across me at my dining room table.

My children will ask me if I've made out my will, or convince me to prepay for a prearranged funeral.

My grandchildren will worry about my health when they are learning about death.

Then they will tire of my Visits and whine about taking me to the doctor.

When I reach ninety, they will visit me in the nursing home twice, once right after I am admitted, and once on my lOOth birthday.

But a great-great-grandchild will sit on my lap, and I will tell her about people I knew and loved who lived in the 1800s, and she can justly consider me old.

I will listen to the TV at a deafening level. I will tear all the linen off my bed. I will wander outside in the cold, and I'll pull the hair of the aide who retrieves me.

I will tell the aides about life before compact disc players and stereo television, before Star Wars, and hopefully, about the then-cured diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's and Muscular Dystrophy.

Finally, when I'm tired enough, I'll go home to see my grandparents, and I'll be laughing all the way.

------OP-ED---C'mon students, what does· it take?

What happens when you throw a party and no one shows up?

What if you throw the same party three years in a row and a grand total of three people show up?

You'd probably start wondering if those you invited were busy doing something else or just plain bored.

Well, the hard-working employees of Auraria Public Safety held their third self-defense seminar in three years and guess what? No one showed.

Isn't it a shame when these folks go to such lengths to help people of this campus and then people don't take advantage of it?

They are the same people who complain aboutthe campus being too dark and the Public Safety office not being responsive to their needs.

But when they are offered a chance to help the situation by learning a few preventive measures, . they stay home - in d~oves.

The Public Safety office is doing more than holding self-defense seminars; it's working with the schools through a new campus safety committee to study the problems students feel plague the campus; it sponsors an Evening Express shuttle service to and from campus buildings and parking lots; and it is waiting for phone calls from anyone with suggestions about safety concerns.

But this is not good enough for the students at Auraria. These students have to be banged over the head and dragged to sem inars and speeches and workshops.

But if you bang them over the head, that's assault and that's something Public Safety is trying to stop with the seminars.

In the last 13 months, Public Safety has investigated 26 sex-related crimes, nine assaults and two th ird-degree sexual ass~u lts.

One sexual assault is one too many. Nine assaults mean there are nine too many.

But the next time (wh ich will be 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

March 12 in PE 104W) Public Safety trys to help, let's all do our best to listen. And use their expertise in helping make the campus safer.

Writer gives rebuttal to students' letter A rebuttal to the Feb. 12 issue of The Metropolitan's article entitled "Differing Views" by Barbara Anderson and James Carr who went out of their way to imply that I was the epitome of the term The Ugly American is best said by my friend Art Gillson, an MSC student. Art and I went to London in the Autumn of 1987 and when he read the letter he sneered out a response well worth saving. I quote, "So whatda they know?" And indeed, what do they know?

Barbara, James, in your Differing Views letter to the editor, you stated that you went to England in the Autumn of 1987. Isn't that a coincidence? So did I! I find it interesting, though, that we didn't meet over there since I got to know everyone else from Metro who went. Is it possible we didn't meet because you two were a couple of anti-social Yanks who gave the rest of the American Institute of Foreign Studies

group the slip so you could wallow in whatever sordid cultural affairs East London had to offer? No, surely that couldn 't have been it since you two were probably very upstanding students. I had to know, so I went and checked the records where, surprisesurprise, I had found out that you two went in the Autumn of 1986. I guess these days the years tend to become blurred together, right?

Mr. Carr, Ms. Anderson, I'm sure you went to England with different attitudes than I had. And I'm sure it was quite easy to do since prices (spending money for tourist stuff, meals, etc.) were only half of what they were in 1987. Also, did either of you happen to live in the Queensgate building? It wasn't referred to as The Pit because i!"lacked a nickname.· It was a dive; even rats skirted our flat.

Now, as for this last problem - my word choice-I fail to see what caused you two to have such a snit.

Really, what is your problem? So what if I poke fun at England? I make fun of America as well - no favoritism there. And before you get into another snit about me not having the right to make sarcastic comments on the Union Jack, I was born in England.

Perhaps you felt left out of the bar scene since you were presumably too busy with your numerous organizations. Then again, maybe I wouldn't have put negative connotations in " almost every paragraph" if I had been able to find a satisfactory strawberry daiquiri.

As for this " nice time" you two had, I did not have a nice t ime. I had a great time, it was a definite eye opener and if I ever get the chance to return, I'm going.

MSC prof: 'colonialism' lives on in Fulkerson To the Editor: President Fulkerson's statement in the January 22 issue of The Metropolitan has done a great service to part-time faculty. For years now, we have shlepped through the same courses at the same rate of pay, with the question always tickling the mind: "Why am doing this?"

In a great burst of illumination, he has edified us all. Such dummies as we (having only doctorates and multiple years of experience) needed that dear parental ism to point it out: we are gaining experience!

We are developing our skills! How beneficent of Metro to grant us this opportunity!

In some bizarre historical boomerang, the Great White Father of colonialism lives again - at Metro.

Now with the beaming faces of the newly saved, we can teach our students with pride. Our self esteem restored, we can greet our colleagues as fellow indentured servants, joining in thankful praise at our good luck.

Now we can silence ugly doubts about fellow parttimers. Instead of wondering why excellent teachers with fine records of publication, who present their research at national professional conventions, are

still slogging away here, we know. With a flash of clarity it comes in the words of our glorious leader: they are gaining experience! They are developing their skills!

Understanding our quasi-student-teacher status also clarifies other issues. Now we know why we must pay for our own professional growth, why we are permitted to teach only two classes of "guinea pigs" per semester, why our job status is fraught with insecurity. Now that the administration's condescension has been articulated, we understand why Metro can afford a basketball team - but no salary increases in eight years.

Fulkerson's revelation has come like a Joycean epiphany. It may also become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Now that our identity has been established, we can feel free of the obligation to develop new courses (gratis), to attend droning meetings, to implement the sillier administrative policies, to undergo evaluation, to spend hours grading papers and to teach with excellence.

Furthermore, we now see the futility of listing Metro as a credit when we present professional workshops or publish. Surely all these efforts are ludicrous for

those wh~ are only here to gain experience and develop their skills.

Reader disgusted with message To the Editor: While reading through the "valentine messages" In the Feb. 12 Metropolitan, I read one that was extremely offensive.

There is not one human being who enjoys being publicly criticized; for something business related, it's embarassing. For something personal, it's demoralizing. It was a cowardly act on the part of the person(s) who submitted the ad. They were evidently not concerned with changing or improving relationships and have no idea of the anguish they cause to anyone fitting the categories of: Pepsi holder "hers,"

apple fritter eater, finger licker or large person.

What is most disappointing is that it would have remained immature gossip among juveniles had not a responsible party, the school newspaper, allowed it to become a cruel joke. Your insensitive action has made victims of individuals who are less than perfect.

Are you perfect? What about your personal habits.

Do you want someone watching and writing about you?

Hurting people is not cute. Its damaging effects cause us all to become a little more cynical.

Parking: the worst is yet to come Kristin Hager Reporter Auraria will need to provide an estimated 2,400 to 2,800 new parking spaces over the next five years to compensate for losses from downtown recomtruction projects, according to a parking need asses.mient presented to the Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) in late January.

The campus will lose l-,206 parking spaces because of the closure of the Lawrence Street viaduct and the concurrent construction of the Auraria Parkway this summer, the report said.

"We knew there was a problem before," said Randy Ready, transportation coordinator for AHEC. "But now we've got the facts to back it up."

The Short Range Parking Plan assessment was the first phase of a two-phase report. It looked into existing parking facilities on and off campus, current and future construction projects, and the needs of 20 other commuter-campus colleges across the nation.

The second report, due in March, will offer ~ible solutions. AHEC hired the consulting firm of BRW to conduct the investigation.

According to the report, Auraria needs 6,699 parking spaces at minimum. It cites 8,300 as the optimum number. Currently, there are S,493 spaces, both on and off campus. [Off-campus lots are those outside Auraria's juri<;diction, such as those at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA).)

Problems with the Walnut Street viaduct, the upcoming closure of Lawrence Street and construction of the Auraria Parkway, which will run parallel to Larimer at W azee, will either partially or completely eliminate lots A, B, U and W. A visibility problem that has plagued the Walnut Street viaduct since its opening last year could soon be resolved.

Steam from nearby cooling towers, owned

by Liquid Air Corp., envelops the viaduct on extremely cold days and has caused more than l 0 viaduct closures in the past few months.

But Bill Orchard, plant manager for Liquid Air Corp., said that the situation will probably be resolved by the next plume (fog) season, which starts in the fall, by installing wet-dry cooling towers at a cost of $2.l million from federal and state department of highway funds and $700,000 from Liquid Air. The towers will dissipate the heat that causes the steam by circulating it around the towers.

"It (the cooling system) works similar to the radiator in your car," Orchard said. "We won't be evaporating water anymore."

Another project expected to affect campus parking is the proposed reconstruction of Speer Boulevard to meet the changes made by the Auraria Parkway. Speer will no longer bridge above Market Street, nor will Speer and Colfax meet (one will be raised over the other). The Colfax grading project will reduce parking in lots S, SA and T. According to Ready and Bob Kronewitter, AHEC campus architect, parking won't be the only problem. The changes in downtown traffic access will cause increased congestion and will inhibit traffic flow around the campus.

"The Auraria Parkway will lead Denver drivers north of downtown to sidetrack campus," Kronewitter said. "I think more people will opt to take the Colfax exit, which leads directly into downtown, causing more congestion than there is currently at the intersection of Speer and Colfax."

Ready said he expects congestion at all corners of the campus during construction and detours.

However, parking problems will not end with the completion of these projects. The proposed Denver Convention Center does not have a plan for parking, and it is possible that space Auraria currently leases from the DCPA will disappear completely or become too expensive for students because of Convention Center visitors.

"We don't, at this point, know what they wiil do," Ready said. "Right now, they charge $2 per day for Auraria students, faculty and staff. But they could decide to raise it to $5 per day, to keep current with

AHEC PARKING NEEDS EEaw ASSESSMENT other downtown parking facilities. We just don't know."

Another future loss could come with development along the Platte Valley. An average of l ,000 students park by or near the Denver and Rio Grande railroad tracks (the land is owned by the Anschutz Corp.) north of the Tivoli, though there are signs stating that no parking is allowed.

"We have to take those spaces into account, as they are used by Auraria commuters. But D&RG could at any time begin towing those cars off. And it's certain to happen when reconstruction of that area occurs," Ready said.

According to the report, most of the daily fee lots on campus are filled to 85 to 90 percent during peak times. Hourly lots, designed for visitors, peak at more than 60 percent.

"In parking, this indicates a problem. If many of your lots are overfull during peak hours, as many are, and other exceed 90 percent, it's difficult for drivers to find

parking," Ready said.

In an attempt to understand what students, faculty and staff want from parking and how much they are willing to pay, a survey was conducted as part of the assessment. Usable responses totaled 878, enough to consider it a reliable sample.

The survey revealed that more than 80 percent of the respondents drive to Auraria, and 73 percent would prefer to park on campus. Seventy-five percent sampled would be willing to pay $1.SO or more to ensure parking within a five-minute radius of their classes, and only 58 percent were satisfied with their current parking locations.

"We've certainly got our work cut out for us," Ready said. "Over the next month, we will be trying to come up with solutions to accommodate all Auraria commuters, taking into consideration both distance from campus and fees."

Ready said the Parking and Transportation Advisory Committee will try to arrange facilities from free parking up to $3. o

Student debates to air Rollne McCoy Reporter

art we have it. the full line of lettering and tapes.

For the first time, MSC candidates running for president, vice president or other pa;itions on the senate will have a chance to debate live on television.

And thanks to the Election Commission and Auraria Cable Entertainment for Students (ACES}, students will be able to view the debates noon to 2 p.m. March 28 on televisions on the lounges. A rebroadcast or a second debate is planned for April 4, the day before the elections.

ACES will also use the Auraria Community Bulletin Board to remind students of the elections. The board runs in the morning and after 4 p.m., so night

students will also be aware of the elections.

"My goal is the same as the Election Commission's, to get more students to vote this year. I'm hoping that through the ACES live TV debates, students will see the importance of the April elections," said Owen Beaver, general manager of ACES. Craig Hurtt, chairman of the Election Commission, said that he got involved on the commission because he saw the need the to inform students of the issues and the candidates running for each position.

"It's ironic that this year I'm chairperson of this committee when last year I wasn't even aware that the elections were taking place," Hurtt said. "I had no idea what the candidates stood for. Hopefully ACES will help make students aware of the election process." o

EDITOR of

Kathy Van Schwartz's acting ability is able to actually show through in her portrayal ofTatyana Shipuchina and is not negated by Ward's direction. This is a welcome change from her role as the third witch in Second Stage's production on Chip Oviatt's homble "modern version" of Macbeth.

The other one-act, The Proposal, directed

by Richard Kenyon, is the story of nervous Lomov, who has come to propose to Natalia but never actually does, although at the end of the play the couple is engaged.

Kenvon also uses the minimalist set design to his ~dvantage and allows the attention of the audience to focus on the action.

Callen Harty looks more at home as

Lomov in his tails than he ever did in Second Stage's Macbeth as MacDuff in a Christ T-shirt. Harty, like Van Schwartz, is allowed to act because in The Proposal, unlike Macbeth, his acting ability is not sacrificed for the sake of a concept MSC Players will be presenling these two Chekhov one-acts February 25-28, March 3-6 and March 10-13 in the Ninlh Street Park Theatre (A rts building, Room 271).

MSC student gov't submits new, revised funding request publishing capabilities would provide time and cost savings to student government.

The request for acquisition of an election computer was the result of a critical examination of the present system's shortcomings. Currently, the Denver Election Commission provides voting machines, which are so bulky they limit the number of polling places on campus. The commission's machines require manual compilation of results, which is both slow and devoid of security. Also, student spring elections often conflict with Denver City elections. A new optical Scan System would alleviate these problems.

"I think this will move us into the 20th century as far as out voting," Norton said ASMSC, which has taken over the 1988 Irish Debate Series, wants to continue to sponsor the popular event The series has proven to be one of the most widely attended Auraria campus events, with about 450 students taking advantage of the free program.

Norton said the rewriting of the ASMSC constitution necessitates advertising and distribution expenditures beyond normal funding levels. Plans are to insert copies of the constitution in The Metropolitan.

"We want students to read this constitution," he said. "I just hate to have students out there voting on something they o don't know anything about"

The Associated Students of Metropolitan State College (ASMSC) submitted a $26,818 supplemental and revised funding request to the Student Affairs Board (SAB) at the board's Feb. 22 meeting.

Martin Norton, ASMSC president, highlighted Metro student government's funding needs to the board It is comprised of MSC students and faculty that allocates student fees to fee-funded programs.

Items included in the funding request were: the National Intercollegiate Mock Trial Competition ($3,980), Conference 1988 ($5,248), Office Computer ($7,690), Election Computer ($1,850), Irish Debate Series ($6,000) and the revision of the ASMSC Constitution ($2,050).

Norton said ASMSC has picked up complete sponsorship of the mock trial competition with the intent to promote visibility of MSC among college and high school students.

In support of the conference funding request, Norton said ASMSC has taken a leadership role within the three institutions on the Auraria campus. ASMSC proposes to set up formal conferences to emphasize key areas of student concern, such as parking and public safety.

AURARIA INTERFAITH MINISTRY PRESENTS

NORMAN DIETZ

----SPORTS Reporter

a live retelling by the CJuthor

MARCH 8th 7:30 P.M. ST. ELIZABETH CHURCH TICKETS (available at Student Center Ticket Office): SS.00; $3.00 with Auraria ID

"Norman Dietz has achieved some notable results. Colorful and religiously vibrant work."

MSC junior Jeff Evans was named Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet during the Intermountain Swim League Championships Feb. 19 and 20, after taking first place in all three of his races.

His times in the 50-, 100-, and 200-yard freestyle events also earned him three personal bests for the season. He swam the 200-yard freestyle in 1:45.75, setting a new Metro State record.

"Jeff was really pushing himself," said coach Steve Hadley. "He did a fantastic job."

Nick Fraser-Smith also performed well at the meet, breaking records in both the 500yard and 1,650-yard freestyle events for Metro. Dane Sandoval broke the record for one-meter diving.

Hadley said that although the men's team took fifth out of five teams participating in the meet, he thought everyone was swimming to his potential and did well.

"Out of 50 individual swims, we had 40 personal bests. That's 90 percent. They were all swimming very well," he said.

Evans, Fraser-Smith, Sandoval, Tim Cornell, Brad Crimmins, Rob Goodwin, William Landeros, David Lewien, Steve Meints, Jay Reetz, Mark Smith and Garrett Weekley all scored points for Metro during the championship, bringing the final score to 253.

Colorado School of Mines took home this year's trophy, with an overall score of 466.

University of Denver was second with 420 points, Colorado College third with 335.5, and University of Colorado-Boulder fourth with 255.5.

All but two of the 14 swimmers will be returning next year, but Hadley said the team's biggest problem right now is lack of people.

"At the championship, I was really misled

by CU. We've beaten them twice already,

but I forgot that at a conference meet, teams

can put all of their swimmers in. They had 18 swimmers against our 14, and that hurt us," he said.

"And we have only one diver, compared _ to the two or three on most teams. We definitely need more."

Hadley said he is going to begin recruiting over the next three weeks, and anyone interested in swimming next year should contact him at 556-8300. Practice begins in October.

Women sink despite team records Kristin Hager Reporter

The MSC women's swim team broke 11 team records during the Continental Divide Swimming and Diving Championships Feb. 18-20, bringing the total record swims for the season up to 45.

Jana Zamboni set seven of the records, not counting one she broke twice in the 200-yard freestyle during the three-day meet.

"Jana did a great job," coach Steve Hadley said. "In all of her events, she was able to break records."

Nonetheless, MSC was only able to place fourth out of the five teams competing in the championships at Air Force Academy. Air Force placed first, with 1,107 points, followed by University of Northern Colorado,

University of Denver, Metro and finally Regis. Metro scored 348 points.

However, Hadley said he was pleased with the improvement he's seen in the women's team since he took it over three weeks into the season.

"Last year, they closed the season with a 1-19 record. This year we were 12-16, ,. which shows a lot of improvement. The women have really been working hard to up their times," he said.

Hadley said he is looking forward to next year's team because of the returning swimmers' attitudes and because of some recruitment he's done in the past two weeks.

"I've got two new women signed up who are probably better than (anyone) we have now," he said.

Men cagers mark end of an era speaks of dedication and consistencv.

AndyGlaHI Reporter

This season marks the end of an era for the MSC men's basketball team.

Four key seniors will end their playing careers just as the Roadrunners emerge as a power in the Great Northwest Conference (GNC).

Wrapping up its fourth season, the team is flourishing despite some really tough times.

The first head coach quit in 1985 after one season. And his replacement, current coach Bob Hull, was hired only a month before the second season began.

Add to that the failure last year of a referendum to expand the gym and a student body that won't show up for the games.

But the program keeps moving.

"The program really had to start from scratch," said senior center Rich Grosz. "It was really tough at first, but I think that it's reached the point where the team is accepted on campus."

Grosz, a 6-foot-7 former star at Evergreen High School, was a major coup for the program when he turned down several offfers from Division I schools and came to Metro.

"I came to Metro for two reasons," he said. "First they had a great academic program for my field (he is seeking a double major in biology and criminal justice).

Second, it was a new program down here and I knew it could go up or down, but either way I would get a chance to contribute."

When discusmlg his team captain, Hull

"He's a hard worker, a really team-oriented player ... he hasn't missed a single game because of sickness or injury," Hull said.

"Rich is one of the true leaders on the team ... we're also going to miss him in our inside game."

Another player whose inside game is going to be missed is center Shefrie Staples.

A fan favorite, Staples is probably the most physically gifted athlete on the team. In his second, and last, season at Metro - be transferred from Prarie State Junior College in Illinois- Staples is known for his intense physical style.

"I learned to play basketball on the streets of Chicago, and if you can't take the ball up strong there you won't be playing very long," he said.

Staples also turned down several offers to play at Division I schools.

"Coach Hull had been recruiting me fofa long time and not only did I like him, but my parents did too," Staples said. "I think I'm like my father in that he always liked the underdog teams. Then I came here and the other players made me feel like this was a good place to be."

Staples, who is working on a degreee in business management, thinks the basketball program will grow in the future. But Chris Roper, the only player besides Grosz who has been at Metro from the beginning, isn't as positive.

"I think that the attendance has been in a decline this year," Roper said. "And that's a real problem because without a better turn

out from the students, the team isn't going to get any recognition."

Hull's approach to the game has stressed fundamentals, aggressive play and team work. His players reflect that philosophy.

"I really feel that this team has a lot of character," said senior guard Rodney Wecker. "Metro isn't a traditional school and in some ways its been tough on the program, but because we all get along with each other and have a great work ethic, the team is starting to become a success."

Wecker himself is the perfect example of team harmony. A recruited walk-on, he has

Mike Kupcho. . .

Nancy Moore...

never started, but his attitude remains upbeat Probably the best basketball mind on the team, Wecker is continually one of the hardest workers in practice. and always has time to help a teammate sharpen his game.

The key to Metro's future success will be whether or not they can fill the tremendous gap left by the departure of Grosz, Staples, Roper and Wecker.

"You can't replace guys like that," Hull said. ''They've been a major contribution to the program, and we can only hope that our recruiting can produce players of their caliber."
