A special look at women's progress

,

It's about time the women of MSC had a chance to speak out about anything they have on their minds. March being Women's History Month, The Metropolitan staff decided the newspaper would be the perfect forum to strike up what has turned out to be a lively dialogue.

Everything from a surgeon who wants to be a music composer to what a feminist is - or isn't- to the confusing and painful aftermath of rape can be found in this issue.

The stories in this paper barely scratch the surface of the extraordinary amount of talent and intelligence found among the 8,216 women enrolled at MSC (53 percent of the students). Nor does it entirely reflect the commitment and dedication of the 261 women teachers (barely 30 percent food for thought). But what it does do is deliver a tasteful, invigorating look at what makes women tick, where they want to go and how they plan on getting there.

A quick look at the school's demographics reveal some interesting facts about women and Metro: Women's ages range from younger than 19 to older than 65, with the average age being 28. This shows the school is fulfilling its mission to provide a place for the non-traditional student.

The statistics also show that 6,572 of the women are white.

Hispanic women make up the next largest group with 585.

Blacks, Asians, American Indians and foreign students number 578. That shows, sadly, that minorities are still not finding their way to Metro.

Another startling fact is that women outnumber men in the traditionally malcxlominatCd business school- 1,437 to 1,367. And the biggest group- 3,615 - can be found in the longtime favorite Metro major - undeclared.

On the other side of the admissions window we find that 54 of the 101 people who run this place - everybody's favorite scapegoats, the administrators ~ are women.

Wherever they are, whatever they're doing and however they got here, women are very much a dynamic force on this campus. We hope this issue, which has been conceived and produced under the direction of the women on our staff, will provide you with as much joyful and stimulating reading as it has us.

One University of Colorado at Denver and four MSC students erected a shanty on the lawn behind Emmanuel Gallery during a light snow March 16 to protest the University of Colorado's investments in South Africa.

The shack also stands in support of fellow students at CU-Boulder, who are living in a shanty town they built on that campus to demonstrate their opposition to legal segregation in South Africa.

Both groups are demanding that university officials pull the school's money out of South Africa companies until that country abandons its policy apartheid.

"A lot of us had heard about it going on at CU-Boulder, but it was difficult to support

them because of the location," said protestor Shannon Habgood. "I was waiting for something to happen down here."

The students met at an anti-apartheid rally earlier Wednesday outside Metro's Student Center and were inspired to build the shanty on the spur of the moment.

"We think that people should stand up," said another protestor, Susan Amole.

They intend to spend the night in the camper shell size structure despite the cold weather.

CU's Board of Regents was scheduled to vote March 17 on a proposal to divest.

Whether the flimsy structure remained on the Auraria campus depended on that vote.

· CU-Denver balks at the cost of recreation Financial Affairs Victoria Fitzpatrick Reporter

,__

•

University of Colorado-Denver wants to buy into MSC's Campus Recreation program to make it available to all CU-Denver students, MSC's Financial Affairs Committee (FAC) reported March 9. But instead of paying a part equal to the percentage of its students on campus, CU-Denver wants to pay based on the percentage of its students using the facility.

For fiscal ¥ear 1988 (July 1, '87 to July '88) MSC paid 57 percent of Campus Recreation's bill. CU-Denver paid 36 percent and Community College of Denver paid 7 percent.

Campus Recreation provides such programs as club sports, intramurals, outdoor adventure and "drop-ins" like aerobics and weight training.

F AC members didn't like the idea of CUDenver paying on a usage basis.

"This is a student service they admit they want every one of their students to have access to," said Dan Becker, FAC chair.

"Yet they don't want to pay a per-student fee.

"If they want to avail it to all their students and we want to avail it to all our students, why shouldn't they all pay the same?" Becker asked.

"When budgeting by use, you are always funding based on last year's use. The ends never meet," he said Campus Recreation is striving for funding on a per-student basis, said Anne McK.elvey, associate director of Campus Recreation.

It's not that CU-Denver is not willing, McKelvey said. They simply do not have the money, because they have not raised their student fees in more than 10 years.

"Their pie cannot be cut in more pieces," she said.

MSC Campus Recreation directors have asked the CU-Denver Finance Board for $62,300 toward next year's budget. They also requested $12,000 from CCD. On March 31, they will submit a budget request of$114,600toMSC'sStudentAffairsBoard MSC's Student Affairs Board.

MSC may have to provide more money,

however, if CU-Denver does not approve the full $62,300, Becker said. He does not know bow much more money would be needed because the whole budget would have to be geared down for the exclusion of CU-Denver students. Recreation management would limit the number of programs CU-Denver students can participate in or the number of students allowed in each program. But be said he suspects CU-Denver students would not accept that move from their student government.

Of the $62,300 Campus Recreation is requesting from CU-Denver, $57,000 is budgeted for salaries, which are determined by the state. Recreation management has no control over the salary amount paid to its employees: a full-time director, a full-time assistant director, a secretary and a 10month employee. Campus Recreation is also responsible for 20 percent of the wages for its 14 work-study students, nine of whom attend CU-Denver.

Since salaries cannot be reduced, programs must be if Campus Recreation does not receive all the money it requested.

"We don't want to have to discriminate against your students," Dick Feuerborn, director of Campus Recreation, told the CUDenver Financial Board at its meeting March 10.

The CU-Denver board seemed to understand the consequences.

"If they have to cut, they have to cut our students," member Bruee Williams said.

Board member George VanderMeuJen said he would push for full funding of the Campus Recreation budget. This budget is based on usage, not per-student.

Last year, CU-Denver gave Campus Recreation $53,800, Feuerborn said. But only $40,000 of that was originally approved.

During the fall semester, another $13,000 came through.

"How are we expected to allocate funding if we don't know what we're going to have?"

Feuerborn asked the board CU-Denver's use of the program has increased with the move from the East Classroom to the North Classroom, McKelvey said.

McKe1vey cited the aerobics classes as an example of the program's increased use. At the beginning of the semester, there were approximately 100 to 110 students in aerobics. Generally, she said, that number falls to approximately 45, as students become less concerned about their New Year's resolutions and more concerned about their studies. This semester, however, there are still 80 to I 00 students using the aerobics program.

As a result, the program had to add an aerobics instructor.

Although Campus Recreation is saturated, McKelvey said she thinks CUDenver's }Jercentage of use in the Campus Recreation program will continue to increase.

AIDS .virus testing, counseling offered at MSC Health Clinic Michael Turner Reporter

The MSC Health Clinic is now offering testing for HIV, the virus that is the primary cause of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).

Kathy Simmons, medical records director at the clinic, said the HIV test results are locked in a separate file to help insure confidentiality. The clinic will not release records without the patient's written and notaiUed permission.

There is one exception to this policy, however. If a patient's medical records are subpoenaed, then the clinic would release the test results with the rest of the medical records. HIV test results could be subpoenaed in such instances as rape trials and divorce proceedings.

Marilyn Helburg, assistant director of clinic, said that if a person is tested by the

Colorado Department of Health (CDH), then the records are kept confidential and a patient's identity cannot be revealed even if the records are subpoenaed.

Jeff Logan, a disease control specialist at CDH, said House Bill 1177, enacted in 1987, requires that CDH keep the identities of all patients confidential if they have a positive HIV test, and records can only be subpoenaed if the patient will not be identified.

The law states that anybody treating a person with an HIV infection must report that person to CDH. Before the clinic will give the test, the patient is made aware that if found positive, CDH will be notified. Patients are also counseled beforehand on the problems associated with the infection and told where and how to seek help if they do indeed have HIV. The HIV test is available for $42.40. If a

pati«!nt is tested positive, a second test called the Western Blot is performed for $70.

CDH offers its tests free, which is one advantage. On the other hand, April Montgomery, a disease control specialist at CDH, said it takes two weeks for a test result to come back. But it takes approximately two days for the results to come back from the lab the MSC clinic uses, Met/Path/ Metropolitan Labs.

So far this semester, the response for testing at the MSC clinic has been small fewer than 10 people have been tested, Simmons said CDH offers free testing at two Denver locations: Denver General Hospital, 605 Bannock St., and at Univeristy of Colorado Health Sciences Center, 4200 E. 9th St. CDH has nine other locations that offer free testing throughout the state. o

EnergetiC artist also actor, dancer and poet Diane Gemma Reporter

With her soft, scratchy voice spiced with a strong New York accent, her expressive ban~ and undying creativity, Rhoda Gersten paints and sculpts and dances the colorful story of her life.

Gersten, 66, is an artist in many forms.

Although she is no longer a credit-seeking student or teacher on the Auraria campus, she still sits in on classes that pique her interest. And bits of her life can still be seen around campus.

She has a painting and a sculpture on display at the Student Center. She says she is addicted to computer drawing, has learned to talk with a camera and bas walked where "angels fear to tread." She took her first voice lesson at age 65.

And theater, for Gersten, has been "it" for a long time, but she just launched her acting career this semester in the Cbt!kbov plays performed by the MSC Players.

And she's also a poet.

In "The Glass Mother," she writes: The stained glass hen sitting on her multicolored eggs all held togeJher with thin strips of lead hangs by a string from my old bedroom chandelier.

Its shadow cast by my bedlamp or by the moonlight sails across the ceiling sky or my nighl The red glass motherbird is waiting

waiting.

Her blue andpurple eggs will never hatch but their long shadow dances softly over plaster cracks and crumbling paint, dances me through to my sleep.

Gersten says she feels all art is therapy to an extent, but that's not the sole reason she creates.

"I do let my feelings come out, more than some people do because I've trained myself to love myself: not to be afraid of what's in my mind and to reach for it."

Her pale pink lips clash creatively with the rust-colored scarf she wears on her head.

Her white earrings dangle oddly but gently next to her pale skin.

"I've accepted my limitations. I know I'm not going to be the greatest anything. I'm no Shakespeare, no Beethoven, no Picasso, but I can live with the fact that I know that I will not be.

"I can enjoy getting into the arts and externalizing the inner me and learning new techniques."

Another passion of Gersten's is dance.

She taught modem dance at CU-Denver for 25 years. She had to stop teaching and dancing due to aggravated arthritis. She said she misses teaching and ad~ to her class~ whenever she can.

"I can make a hook from music to poetry, poetry to drama, drama to music, sculpture to painting, sculpture to dance."

As a transition from teaching, she got into dance therapy, which is an outlet tbr many older dancers, Gersten says. As a result, she became interested in using dance to help others.

"I really explored how to dance for people with special needs and the field of dance therapy. The therapy concentrated on emotional problems - not just for the profoundly ill, but for everyone. I was exploring using movement for perceptually handicapped children."

Later she received a federal grant to develop new meth~ for improving learning disabilities through dance.

Rhod1 Photo by Diane Gemma She says she started in dance by accident.

"When I was a kid, theater was it. I was in plays in high school but I wasn't encouraged by my family. They had the traditional feeling that women in the theater were bad women."

She was told that everyone in the theater took dance, but her parents thought of women dancers as loose women. They asked her why she wanted to take dance.

"I knew what was on their min~. I didn't really know the so-called 'facts of life' - but I said, 'It's to get rid of my exces.s energy,' and my mother nudged my father at the elbow, and she said, 'We better give her the money; it'll help her get rid of the excess energy.'"

After that, she was able to go to a professional studio and take daily classes.

"I never got back to acting 'cause I loved dance so much." At one time while attending college, Gersten was offered a dance scholarship" "I would have had to drop out of college, and no woman in my family bad ever been to college. It would have been a great disappointment to my mother." She finished college.

"I grew up in New York City and we were poor; I just didn't know it. We had everything but money. I didn't know that other people had more of certain material things. I lived in a neighborhood surrounded by grandmother, loving aunts and uncles, and close warm family ties."

Her father had very little income and

during the depression the family bad to move in with her widowed grandmother, who had two unmarried children. Altogether, there were seven of them.

She pauses, looking around. She adjusts the multicolored silk scarf around her neck.

She says she returns to her hometown every few years and walks around talking to people and taking pictures. While there, she says, she walks into the classiest museums and restaurants with her shopping bag and ratty clothes.

She's lived away from New York for 39 years. Part of that time was spent in Rochester, Minn., where her husband was stationed in the military. He spent two and a half years overseas, at which time she made some changes in her life.

"As a self-preservation, I had to get out, make frienru and talk to people. I was very quiet and shy."

Later, she and her family (five children and a husband) came to Denver. She began teaching dance while her husband, an M.D. in clinical medicine, practiced at University Hospital and the ki~ went to college at the University of Colorado. She says the whole family is creatively oriented.

Her husband, for example, was always humming.

"After 45 years of marriage - why it took me that long I will never know - I said, 'What are you always humming?' He said, 'I'm always humming melodies I make up.' ''Now, he hums all day long. Can you imagine after 45 years bow many melodies he must have made up?" She giggles. "So I said, 'With the next one, go to the piano; fll follow you. I'll write down the melody.' " One day, soon after that, the two of them went to the piano and wrote down a song from one of the melodies.

The music, art and theater seem to move her.

Maybe her need for creative expression helps her "get rid of the excess energy,'' of which there is seemingly an unlimited 0 amount.

Fighting back is the key .t o rape prevention Shlrley Bonner Reporter

Oftentimes people fail to see the dangers around them until warning lights are flashing in front of their faces.

The victim's reaction might be the only thing that will pull her out of the reach of harm.

<

Safety is a major concern on this campus and the Auraria Taekwondo Club bas tried and tried again to do something about it.

Responding to the need for a safer campus, the club offered a rape prevention seminar March 12.

For the second time in three weeks, the club sponsored the event for anyone concerned with personal safety.

The last time the seminar was offered,

Feb. 20, no one showed up. A few days later, on Feb. 24, a woman was sexually molested as she showered in the women's locker room in the Physical Education building.

At the March 12 seminar, 11 women turned out.

Those who attended the four-hour training session learned basic safety and awareness techniques that put them ahead of the average students who walk around campus unaware of bow vulnerable they are.

"There's always the ~ibility that anyone can be raped, man or woman," self-defense instructor K.J. "Rusty" Steil said as he explained how to diminish the odds of becoming a victim.

The best way to prevent an attack is to think smart, Steil said.

Pay attention to your surroundings.

Bushes, for example, provide excellent hiding spots - dead-ends offer inescapable traps and isolated or dimly-lit areas invite trouble, he said.

But even the most alert person could be confronted by an attacker, Steil said. Therefore, knowing self-defense maneuvers is a necessity for everyone, especially females, who are easier targets than males.

If assaulted by a man, a woman should not try to fight him off by kicking him in the groin unless she is certain her blow will 路 make direct contact with the intended spot, Steil said.

Because men instinctively protect the groin area, tney quickly defend it against attack, he said. Women are, therefore, often unsuccessful when they try this self-defense technique.

Committee brings together clubs, money Kristin Hager Reporter

Money is a touchy subject, and it's bard to imagine anyone putting himself or herself in a position of dealing with financial requests on a full-time basis.

However, with 75 recognized MSC clubs and organizations all lobbying student government for part of the $24,400 allocated from student fees for club activities, it proves wise to have a mediator, or four.

The Club Affairs Committee (CAC), appointed by the ASMSC senate to hear funding requests before they are brought to the legislative body, bas worked hard over the past year to spread the money out as best it could And according to Chairwoman Lois Kaness, success has been achieved largely through ethical rationale.

"Our philosophy has been that this money is not ours to horde over and jealously dispense. We want to encourage clubs to making funding requests that can get these monies back out to the students in ways most suited to enhance not only the campus community, but also the community at large," Kaness said.

~

"We've been fortunate enough to have four people with the highest moral and ethical values I know of who bring those qualities into the decision-making process.

No one has bypassed us and gone to the senate complaining of unfair treatment."

Kaness said the most common requests involve monies to initiate fund-raising projects and monies to send members to represent MSC at conferences, either regional or out-of-state.

But sometimes, the money is just not available, or the request does not comply with CAC guidelines for funding. However, groups with good ideas are not just turned away at the door.

"If a club comes in with an excellent idea and we can't help them, we offer suggestions for alternate sources of funding, such as professional organii.ations, grants or even corporations. We try to do as much as we can for students," Kaness said.

Presently, the CAC is gearing up to present a budget to the Student Affairs Board on March 31. Rough drafts are being drawn up now for both a Sports Club budget and the regular CAC funding request. Kaness said the group is working bard to come up

with the fairest budget it can.

"We're getting a five-year history put together to see which clubs request what kind of money and why. We've also posted office hours for each member - which wasn't done in the past - to answer questions and get a better idea of the type of funding MSC clubs need," she said. Representatives from CAC also regularly attend faculty adviser meetings, MSC Interclub Council meetings and senate meetings to receive input and make occasional presentations.

"We want to be ready and know what we're talking about," Kaness said.

She said several members will be returning to CAC next year, but nonetheless, they are working on a training program over the summer to keep the system running smoothly when new members come in.

"When I started, I had no idea what was happening. It took time for us all to learn the system. We don't want that to happen again next year. This system is really starting to work well," she said.

The CAC meets bimonthly on Wednesdays. o

~

Instead, a woman should attack other exposed pressure points on the body, be said.

Forcefully jabbing the thumbs deep into the eye sockets will disable an attacker long enough for a victim to run for help.

A powerful swift kick to the kneecaps will also give a victim the time she needs to escape an attacker, who should be on the ground holding his broken joints, he said.

If a woman decides to strike back, she must be certain she can deliver the blow, Steil said. Any hesitation while executing the blow will severely lessen its impact.

She will have only angered her attacker, not disabled him, he said.

Practice is the surest way for a woman to be certain she can carry out a defensive movement when the time calls for it, Steil said. If a woman does not feel comfortable seeing her assailant bleed or hearing his bones break, she should try an alternative self-defense maneuver.

Sometimes talking or playing up to the man affords a woman the opportunity to escape an attack or end one before it becomes more serious.

The woman who was sexually molested in the locker room did just that. She talked her way out of a rape, Auraria Public Safety spokesperson Lolly Ferguson said during a Feb. 24 interview with a Metropolitan uewspaper reporter.

Playing up to an attacker could cause the man to relax, thereby permitting a victim to catch him off-guard before she attempts her counterattack or escape.

Disabled to learn defense methods Diane Gemma Reporter Handicapped students plan to put some punch into a seven-week self-defense seminar by knocking out ideas on prevention strategies as well as learning physical resistance methods.

The self-defense for the disabled class beginsMonday,March28,inPER 104Wthe west gym - and meets every Monday for seven weeks.

Auraria Public Safety, Auraria Office of Disabled Student Services and Community College of Denver Center for the Physically

Disadvantaged picked up the $400 tab for the seminar, so it's free to Auraria students.

"The course is designed to raise awareness regarding vulnerability to violence and then give instructions to prevent victimization," said Mary Loring of the Self Protection Instruction Team, which will sponsor the seminar.

"Instruction begins with prevention techniques and progresses to physical resistance methods. Each week students are encouraged to discuss the impact that this training is having in their daily lives."

The introduction to prevention strategies will concern control over personal

information, home, street and car security practices, Loring said.

Linda Spies, program director for Project Challenge, another self-defense seminar, will be acting as class facilitator along with Loring.

Loring said that because Spies is in a wheelchair, she will be a tremendous asset to the class.

Class plans include introduction and implementation of physical resistance t.echniques such as punching, yelling, stretching exercises, strangle hold release and wrist release.

Co-sponsor Mike Seaton, director of

Special Populations (the handicapped), said there was a short class on self-defense during Handicap Awareness Days last October and that Loring showed several techniques for self-defense.

"At that time, she showed some techniques that I suspect will come up in the seminar.

She showed them (students) a way to bold their keys - out of their pocket or purse ready to open a door, but also held in such a way that they could be used as weapons."

Seaton said nine students have already enrolled. o

Ideas about gender are slow to change Diane Gemma Reporter

,. ..

..

Sections of Kathy Johnson's shoulderlength bob - sleekly parted on the side fall over her face as she speaks.

"Women have a natural affinity for coffee pots, typewriters and ... ditto machines, yes that's it," she says with a sarcastic snule.

Johnson, a part-time history professor at MSC, considers herself a feminist, but says change comes slowly for women.

"Progress in the women's movement bas been painstakingly slow. We change our political and economical systems faster than we change our ideas on gender. I don't know why, perhaps because it's such a fundamental question. Maybe it would require changing fundamental and intimate relationships; most men don't want a girlfriend who's a rabid feminist," she says. "We would have to change our sexist language, the way we raise children as well as staffing patterns, not only in academia but out there in the real world.

"It gets discouraging, butldoseecbanges," she says.

Johnson, 41, teaches two classes at Metro: American Civilization and Women's History.

"I'm a generalist, though. I can teach just about any time pericxl of American history."

As far as the women's history goes, "it's a field just like any other field in history. It's erroneous that these cl~ are just for women. ''There are three men in the class whom I encourage to participate," she says.

"During the '60s I was a student activist

- I was grossed out by male behavior," she says with a smile. "I joined consciousn~ raising groups in which disgruntled women would sit around discussing gross male behavior ... It was a place where women could discuss their experiences. In those days it was a first attempt at defining themselves as women; 'how are we being held back?' " Johnson has a master's degree from San Jose State in El Paso, Texas.

"I did my master's thesis on women's history. That was 1970-71. I took the first women's history classes ever offered there.

In those days, that was just the beginning of the movement."

The master's wasn't enough for Johnson.

She began a Ph.D. program at Berkley in American history immediately following that but stopped after a year. ' "I decided I needed some experience. I wanted to gain maturity as a scholar." So she taught at El Paso Community College, a two-year college, for five years.

"I wrote my first protest letter after three weeks on campus. It was against the sexist language used by the administration. I was called into the dean's om'ce and chewed out - obviously I wasn't sensitive to the students or else I wouldn't be protesting sexism - I pointed it out to him that that didn't make sense." She pauses with a look of wonder.

"I didn't protest enough to lose mf job, but enough to call it to the attention of the faculty. My point was women don't air preciate sexist language. We don't think it's cute." She slouches back in the chair a moment and looks disgusted "It took two or

three years of struggle just to get women's classes into the curriculum."

In 1980, Johnson took a summer course at the University of Denver and decided to come to Colorado to live.

"It was a scary decision," she says.

However, she did not have the ties of family or marriage holding her back. She has never been married.

"A real sign of a thinking woman," she says with a smile. "I don't want a whole lot of help to make basic decisions that affect my life. I'm very independent."

Johnson is presently working on a doctorate in history at DU. Her dissertation topic is Urban Ghetto Riots- 1965-1970: Comparative Study of American and Soviet Pr~Coverage. She has also been studying Russian there for three years. She says she's not sure what she will do once she's finished.

"It couldn't take more than two more years. As far as teaching, who knows? Given the market in academia, it may be difficult.

Johnson says she lives a dual identity. Her _black leather jacket lolls over the chair. "I carry a backpack as a student and a briefcase to work to remind myself that rm a teacher."

Johnson says she'd eventually like to teach a course in comparative women's history that would combine all her fields, including modern Russia, China and America. Her wire-rimmed glasses rest mid-nose.

Johnson's goals show a determined woman.

"Before I die I want to learn Chinese, Spanish and Russian, and I want to teach that class." o

Scream fire/from page s

Even the right kind of scream can bring help, Steil said. The woman must let go of any timidness and, as loud as she can, scream fire, not rape.

The word fire concerns people enough that they will investigate the scream; whereas, the overused word rape may be ignored ~y someone hearing it, he said.

Doing anything to abort an attack is better than nothing, Steil said. Anyone cornered in a threatening situation from which

she cannot escape should fight back if the attacker is unarmed or acts apprehensively.

A woman who fights back overcomes the emotional trauma of an attack quicker than one who surrenders without a battle, he said.

A victim who can say she did all she could to prevent a consummated attack feels better about her image aml abilities than a person who wonders what would have happened had she fought back, Steil said.

The ScMlarship Connection, founded by Barbara Beukelman, says one congressional studv estimated that unused scholarships and ioans totaled into the billions of dollars.

Beukelman says her data banks currently contain a dollar amount of over $4 billion in scholarships, grants and loans.

For a fee of$69, the connection guarantees a student a minimum of five non-government sources. A full refund is granted if the minimum is not met, she says.

Golden years tarnished by violence Pat Beckman Reporter

Though the accounts below represent actual occu"ences, the names are fictitious, ensuring total anonymity to the victims involved Jane is 72 years old. For some women approaching their 70s, this age signifies the golden years, a period of growing old peacefully with one's spouse and calculating accomplishments in terms of the number of happy, successful children one has raised.

For others, these golden years have been tarnished by Jonelin~, senility and even death.

Jane's golden years have been tarnished by violence. A victim of wife abuse most of her married life, Jane was told she must nurse her incapacitated husband or else he'd be placed in a nursing home. Jane finally sought help after her husband beat her with his cane, bruising her thin skin.

Mary, 70, was also the victim of wife abuse. But it wasn't until her daughter who was in her mid-30s, followed her father's example and assaulted Mary, that Mary finally sought the long overdue help she needed.

Jane and Mary's decisions to seek help and part from their husbands may have been a difficult decision to make, said Jo Roll, community development coordinator for the Denver SafeHouse, housing facility for abused women. Jane and Mary are not only risking the loss of their financial security, but at 70, they are undergoing traumatic changes.

..

By the time most women come to the SafeHouse, they're ready for change and ready to escape their life-threatening situations, Roll said, adding that most women will leave their abusive partners four to six times before seeking a permanent solution.

"It takes quite a bit of fortitude for a woman to admit she's been abused," Roll said Women tend to blame themselves, asking themselves what thev should have done differently or better to p~event the abuse.

Areport by the National Coalltlon Against Domestic Vlolence cited that there are 3,000 anlmal shelters In this country, but only 700 shelters for battered women.

Though the reported number of battered women cases has increased over the years (a total of 3,358 crisis calls were answered in 1985 by the SafeHouse as compared to 1,448 .in 1984), wife abuse has always existed, Roll said. It's just been within the last 15 years that society bas addressed the situation.

In the mid '70s, voltinteer women started responding to the needs of other women. As a result, Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA), a national organization, now defunct, which was responsible for the funding of shelters throughout the country, began financing SafeHo~ throughout the country.

And although America's shelters provided safety to more than 91,000 women in 1983, these shelters also had to tum away more than 264,000 victims because of insufficient funding, according to a 1985 report by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. This same report cited that there are 3,000 animal shelters in this country, but only 700 shelters for battered women.

The Denver SafeHouse provides shelter, food, clothing, limited child care and total anonymity to its clients. When the shelter opened in 1977, it was established as a second-stage facilty, meaning women could stay at the house for a 90-day period, Roll said. To serve more women, however, the shelter shifted into a short-term crisis-oriented facility. This reduced the period clients . could stay to 30 days.

Roll said that there is not a typical client.

Battered women come from all ethnic and socio-economic levels. The SafeHouse deals with women coming from lower economic levels, primarily because the SafeHouse's services are free. Self-supporting women have better means and more options of escaping abusive situations.

Roll said the SafeHouse accepts women and their children for up to 30 days. In some cases the shelter will extend a client's stay for 60 additional days. But Roll pointed out that the clients are encouraged to set realistic goals for themselves and to seek independence. .

Another function of the SafeHouse is to show battered woman that there is someone

out there who cares. Oftentimes, Roll said, people avoid confronting a battered woman.

The bruises and scars are apparent, but people are too embarrassed to acknowledge the situation. By simply telling an abused person "I care," one can make a lot of difference, Roll said.

There are 11 traditional shelters throughout Colorado, which provide housing facilities to its victims, and numerous crisis lines ~d support groups that aid non-lethal situations.

The Auraria Campus recently submitted a proposal to the Victim Assistance Law Enforcement Board (VALE) seeking the funds n~ to implement a crisis intervention center on campus.

Gil Gutierrez, manager for the Office of Information and Referral and Off-campus Housing Services, devised the proposal in conjunction with Public Safety. The services outlined in the proposal would assist victiw of all types of crime and would promote crime prevention awareness. The proposal, however, was rejected because of VALE's inability to fund the project.

But this project is far from dead. Gutierrez will resubmit a proposal as soon as VALE is able to accept new proposals.

MSC's Institute for Women's Studies sponsors two support groups, a general support group and one for women in transition.

These support groups focus not merelv on the problems of battered women, but ~n a variety of women's issues. For more information call 556-8441. o

Victim's questions become rational fears Aisha Zawadl

Special Edition Editor

The editor of The Metropolitan asked me a few weeks ago if I would be interested in working on a special issue of the paper - a women's issue - as a guest editor.

Not knowing what I was getting into, I agreed.

I've been working at The Met for a year and a half as a typesetterI graphic artist and thought it would be an exciting learning experience to see how the other halfoperates.

I even decided I would write an article - a weekly musing or an editorial - hard-core news writing is just not my style. Anyway, a

couple of weeks went past and I couldn't decide what I wanted to write about, and I was feeling a minimal amount of discomfort.

Well, now we're getting down to the wire and the minimal amount of discomfort is turning into major anxiety. I couldn't decide what women's issue I wanted to write about.

There are many important issues concerning women that could be addressed in this type of form.

I thought about writing a historical perspective or maybe about what it means to me to be a black woman or about what it means to be a black woman with a 8~ shoe size. But every time I tried to sit down and write, nothing came out. Just me and my

"Injustices such as discrimination and harassment happen daily to women and that, in itself, is enough to make _one boil, but this anger was coming from deeper within me"

writing pad, alone with no words. However, I did notice one feeling that consistently stayed with me throughout my anxietyanger.

Th.is was not too surprising. Injustices such as discrimination and harassment happen daily to women and that, in itself, is enough to make one boil, but this anger was coming from deeper within me. The kind of anger that makes you feel like a pressure cooker - inside your stomach - about to explode.

After identifying the anger, I immediately knew where it was coming from. But what I had yet to deal with was much worse.

I was finally able to write exactly what I was feeling. I emptied all my emotions onto a no longer blank pad of paper.

It was great, a catharsis, a large releasing of emotion. But one heavy-duty emotion was still left.

Fear.

I knew I wanted to write about what happened to me. It's importance to me was obvious, and hopefully by expressing my feelings about it, I might be able to help other women. But I felt people would point at me, make me feel branded. ·

Yes, I know, irrational fears. Irrational fears abound when one is raped.

•Irrational fear number one: Was it my fault? Yes, this is an irrational fear. If a woman or man stands naked in a crowd of thousands and afterward is raped, it is not his or her fault. Each of us is responsible for our own actions. However, we are not responsbile for the actions or reactions of others.

•Irrational fear number two: Should I press charges? Actually, the fear is not irraJional. What's irrational is how women are made to feel like the criminal if they go through the judicial system. And how this causes us to question whether or not to press charges.

•Irrational fear number three: How will my friends and my family react?

•Irrational fear number four: Will I ever be able to trust again?

•Irrational fear number five: Should I, could I have done more to prevent myself from being raped? There is an article in this paper about a self-defense seminar given by the Taekwondo club. In the article, "Rusty" Steil said doing anything to abort See victim's fears, page 15

0 P E D coura9e, strength needed to heal society's wounds

r

,.

To many people, a feminist is a feminist is a feminist.

Many people perceive the women's movement as a true sisterhood of women with identical visions and dreams. Many people also see only two colors, usually black and white ....

Yet, there are as many types of feminist ideologies as there .are colors. Women have always disagreed about whose view of the world is this correct one, what equality means and how to achieve it.

In the '60s, women came together to tell the world they would no longer tolerate oppression and to demand that they be allowed to express themselves as they saw fit. Those women were just as diverse as women are today: liberal, conservative, radical, traditional , married, single, older, younger - as different as any other group of people.

There has always been a common bond, between women as there is today. But to women of the '80s the bonds seem less important. We seem less open and accepting of one another as women.

Despite having an understanding of women's confJict with women , it still hurts to see that struggle separate and divide women to the extent that feminism becomes dogmatit and intolerant.

That attitude reared its ugly head in the Student Center March 8 during Lhasha Tizer's speech, "Women ... The Next Step."

Tizer, a holistic counselor from Boulder, explained that her view of women, from biological, emotional, psychological and physical viewpoints wasn't based on a war between the sexes. She tried to convey a sense of what women have historically meant to one another. She went on to describe positive as well as negative effects the women's movement had on our lives.

While I didn't agree with some of Tizer's views, I did agree with the premise that women have been hurt as well as helped by the women's movement. And I was anxious to hear what she had to say about how her experience and study led her to whatever vision she had for the future of women.

I didn't hear all she had to say. Because many of the women there felt so offended and alienated by Tizer, either because of her image, language or ideology, she spent most of the time trying to clarify and defend her opening statements. Many seemed to reject her because of preconceived notions rather than being open to hearing her point of view.

Many women were offended by her use of words such as yielding, nurturing, loving and patience to describe feminine qualities.· She was not limiting women to having only those qualities, but saying they were important qualities to retain. As she described how limiting it is to be defined only by one's career or relationship, many women became even more agitated.

In the past feminine qualities, and only only feminine qualities, were ours by design. We do have more choice now. We have tne ao1111y to define ourselves as we choose in spite of societal definitions of male and female.

But, personal choices and opportunities opened up by the women's movement come with the anguish that choice often brings. No single ideology or individual's view of the world provide definitive answers to choices posed to women today.

Empathy and understanding allow that evolvement to take place.

To empathize is to identify emotionally with others, to be sensitive and accept what others' life experiences mean to them. Intellectual Exploration of our beliefs in terms of our everyday lives can be even more illuminating.

Do we accept older women and value their wisdom and experience?

Or do we tend to ignore them because we must face our own aging and mortality? Do we accept women who choose to stay at home with their children or those who choose not to have children as valuable?

Or do we treat them as though they're not helping the "cause"? Do we accept and support battered women? Or do we write them off as second-class citizens and victimize them further by asking why they don't just leave? Do we accept younger women who feel that they needn't concern themselves with sexism and inequalilty? Or do we resent them and further alienate them because we view them as ignorant?

These attitudes not only separate us from each other, they also isolate us from ourselves. It is possible to compete, to disagree, to conflict and to still retain an understanding and bond with one another. It takes openness and courage to accept our own commonality as well as our uniqueness. For in doing so we open ourselves to strength and power as well as fragility and vulnerability, qualities that o define humanity, not just male and female.

"Tha woman's movement has empowered me to think about my own needs and wants and to be more reaponalble for my own ma and what I do wHh It" â&#x20AC;˘

Jiii Douglas

America has always been a land of struggle.

Within its struggles, people who have believed strongly in something have sought to share that belief with others. But oftentimes, after we've accomplished what we set out to do, we put down our arms and become complacent.

The battle for women's rights is no exception.

Around the time of the Civil War, women began raising their voices, and since then, their protests have gotten louder and louder.

The movement was bolstered in 1920 when women's suffrage became a reality and women finally had a legitimate say, albeit a small one. In spite of this newfound right, many women didn't fully exercise it. .

Still following the man's lead, they often voted as their husbands did.

During World War II, women, who would become known as "Rosie the Riveter," entered the traditionally male-dominated workforce in droves. Women began realizing there were personal and financial rewards to be gained. At the war's end, many refused to give up their jobs, even though society told them to go back to their homes and families where they belonged.

The late '40s and the '50s marked the return of the traditional American household, where women stayed home and raised their families.

But the '60s were yet to come.

The protests of the Vietnam War, the emergence of the grass roots hippie movement and the Civil Rights Law set the stage for changes, whether America was

"Women are now more a part of society, and you can relate to them in more than just the home atmosphere, such as at work," he said. .

Douglas added, "There's more acceptance of women and different types of jobs. Women are more visible in the world. We have control over our lives and have more opportunity to express ourselves, to grow and do things on our own."

Along with helping women achieve personal strides, students said the movement has had both positive and negative effects on relationships.

"I would say the women's movement has had a positive effect on my relationships with meri: It has made both of us more aware of our roles, and just knowing that helps you know whether you want to follow that role or not," said Terry Stewart.

Ford-Trumpp believes the effect is negative.

"With women, I think it has often times made relationships more stressful. Some women who follow the traditional path have a difficult time with women who are feminists," she said.

"I don't see any impact on my relationships at all because my peers have all grown up in the same world u me, where things are more equal," Chokas said, adding, "I guess that's an impact in itself."

The students who voiced their opinions, whether they marched in protests or whether they are just now beginning to understand the movement, agreed that, like many other struggles, it mustn't be forgotten.

"We still have to go on; we can't be satisfied because some things aren't equal yet," said Annette Hall. "You can't just let one person fight for you. You must have a say in what's going to happen to you in your future." o

Students use life experiences to achieve desired successes Renee Allen Reporter

Somoone once said that success can only be measured from within.

For at least four MSC women, success is a constant struggle.Their goals and dreams keep changing, allowing them to find satisfaction from within.

Dainia Pettus, for example, bas overcome learning disabilities and a major personal tragedy to uncover a nugget of success, but it is only a small part of her search for the pot of gold.

Pettus, an MSC photography student, bas attained in the past few years what many people consider a lifetime of successes.

She maintains a 3.7 grade point average in spite of her disabilities, and along with a few other students, bas opened an alternative photography gallery.

The gallery, called "2-C," is a place for beginning artists to display their work and sell it without the gallery taking a commission.

Pettus was raped wpen she was 15. Now her work provides therapy for her to overcome and deal with this experience.

"I've used my art as therapy to deal with some issues in my life that need resolving," Pettus said.

Although Pettus bas reached some of her goals, she is still striving for success. "(By) maintaining my own autonomy, individuality and confidence in myself and my work - if I can maintain these- then I am a success. It's a matter of trusting my , intuition, doing a job because I like it, having

an attitude about myself that would override everything else, (and) not getting caught up with what others think," Pettus said.

For Pettus, overcoming the physical and mental anguish bas become part of her success. But for Dr. Nancy Dahlem, a research psychologist, succeeding in the mental game wasn't enough.

Dahlem bas been researching psychological behavior since 1967 and bas also been playing the role of wife and mother.

Freedom found in higher education ~

David Konrad

Reporter

Dr. Jan Delasara thinks that teaching in the~ ofAmerica's higher educational

institutions is a perfect place for women to be.

"You have a lot more freedom," said Delasara, MSC English department chair.

The freedom she speaks of includes being able to spend time with family, thanks to a somewhat flexible work schedule.

Delasara's own work schedule is not so

Victim's fears an attack is better than nothing. Anyone cornered in a threatening situation from which she cannot escape should fight back if the attacker is unarmed or acts app(ehensively.... A victim who can say she tried to prevent a consummated attack feels better about her image and abilities than a person who wonders what would have happened had she fought back, Steil said. I agree with Mr. Steil and applaud his efforts. However, if one does defend oneself and is unsuccessful or is too afraid or does not know how to, then make sure to forgive yourself. I say this because intellectually I can tell myself I did everything I could, but emotionally, rationale does not play a major role. Subconsciously and/or consciously I might be feeling guilty about whether or not I should have done more.

flexible. She spends most of her day in workrelated activities; even her lunch hour is usually spent at her desk. · Her hard work is fueled by her strong principles.

"You have to decide how much you are going to let the administration push you around," said Delasara.

She made the decision not to be "pushed around" early in her term as chair of the college's largest department.

"Somehow I got in the way of the 'old boys'' system," she said. "For the most part,

from page 10 I could go on and on listing my fears, irrational or not. And I'm sure any woman could add to the list.

I'm also not surprised that after four years have passed and I've gotten therapy, there are still times I ask myself these questions.

According to the Uniform Crime Reports: Crimes in the U.S., in 1986, there were 90,434 reported foretble rapes in the United States. This does not include statutory rape and other sex offenses.

And I can say that these "irrational fears" are questioned in one way or another.

You know what?

I don't fe~I the fears that are questioned are irrational.

What is irrational?

The fact that these questions are even asked. ~.

Delasara added that male dominance extends into the classroom.

"Instructors tend to cater to male students more than female students. I even do this myself sometimes," she said.

Conversely, women are not treated very well in the classtroom. ''There are horror stories about bow male professors treat female students," Delasara said.

Io spite of the male dominance that makes getting jobs in higher education harder for

women, Delasara doesn't see this trend lasting much longer and maintains that there are a number of credible women professors at MSC.

Neanderthals keep waitress in dark ages Renee Allen Reporter

I don't think rve come a long way, baby.

Working as a waitress at a popular Denver bar is like living in the dark ages.

At 212 degrees and knee-deep in peanut shells, patience wears thin.

HI hear one more, "Do you think you can handle that?" or "Is that too much for you to remember?" from one more slurring, slobbering neanderthal in a three-piece suit, I think I will strangle him with his $50 silk tie.

I am still serving beers and peanuts to men who talktomeas though I am a second-class citiun.

It's a phenomenon.

Why do otherwise semi-intelligent, considerate human beings turn into some unrecognizable form of inconsiderate, rude, crude, vulgar and rather presumptuous aliens when they walk through the doors of a bar?

And why do these aliens fail to comprehend the meaning of the word "tipping''?

Tipping is not a piece of confidential information, it is not leaning something on edge and, no folks, it is not a city in China.

Tipping is, however, payment for services rendered byhard-working, non-complaining waitresses who are paid slave wages for doing slave work.

It is the allocation of monetary funds to these waitresses for the delivery of beer, wine, spirits and food purchased by patronizing patrons.

Is that so difficult to understand?

Contrary to public opinion, waitresses do not work for free.

We are paid a whopping $2.01 an hour and most of.that is eaten by taxes. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to live on $60 a month.

For crying out loud, some of these picklebrained, fermented oafs cough up $60 a night surrounding themselves with TV monitors boasting the Playboy Olympics,

attempting to eat their weight in peanuts and willingly having beer thrown in their faces while sitting in a barber's chair. Or spend at least that much buying drinks for I 0 women in hopes of introducing one of them to the Sealy Posturpedic feeling.

Men - an interesting breed.

Somehow they think slurred speech, beer breath and foul language are attractive and especially irresisbble to waitresses at 1:30 in the morning.

Hate to burst your bubble, guys, but I've got news for you - you're not!

I find it difficult to believe that a sober man outside of the dark bar would write his phone number on a $10 bill, rip it in half, hand it to a woman and say, "You'll get the other half when you call Jtle, babe," or "You're making a big mistake by not going out with me."

Hey, I'll take my chances and, by the way, I am not your babe!

Grabbing, pinching, slapping and leering are only a few of the prerequisites to earn a spot on the waitress hit list.

Of course these descriptions do not refer to everyone who enters this fabulous drinking establishment; there are those few whose redeeming qualities make the job almost worthwhile.

However, these angels of mercy don't outweigh the demanding, impatient majority.

They want their beer "now'' and "hurry it up with those peanuts" as if they were the only ones in a bar packed with people like sardines in a can.

Well, sorry babes, this isn't Burger King.

You'll get it my way or you won't get it at all.D

Student hopes to play the melodv., of success in the concert of life Joan Davies Copy Editor

Ellen Money bas the hands of a surgeon ... and a pianist. And the mind that's deft at the operating table is as quick with a musical score sheet. r Some people might envy Money. Others would just admire her. But whether they'i:e her patients or her audience, they'll agree that she's an exceptional lady.

Money, who's known as "doctor" in her private practice as specialty surgeon at the Lutheran Medical Center, is a University of ' Colorado at Denver music student majoring in "scoring/ arranging," with a special interest in composition.

Money might have thought her days as a student were over when she graduated in 1970 from Southwestern Medical School in ~ Dallas with a doctor of medicine degree.

But they weren't.

"In 1981;-I took my first piano leswn and realized shortly thereafter that I wanted to become a serious student of music. So I continued With private lessons and in 1986, I started here," she says.

"Here" for the CU-Denver student also means MSC, where she taJces several music classes that are credited toward her degree.

Money is indeed a serious student of music. And she'll share her enthusiasm for composition with Auraria students next year , when the MSC Players perform her musical/drama Energy and Arms.

She says the story behind her musical, which she started writing at the end of her first semester at CU-Denver, is unusual. And she tells why.

"I had a lot of encouragement from my ~ profeswrs to write original music, so that's what I started to do. My tunes weren't very good, but they got better.

"There was a notice on a bulletin board about a music competition. But you had to be under 21 to enter. I wasn't."

So Money, who's 48, decided to write her own musical anyway. She wanted to start from scratch, rather than adapting a story to the stage.

"My original story was about a writer who is out of ideas and meets a woman who ,.-·straightens him out and in the process, straightens herself out. When he gets himself straightened out, he decides to taJce on a project that doesn't make any money. So he takes on a project concerning nuclear war," she explains.

Over spring break last year, Money says she took her script to the MSC Players, who "didn't think much of it. But they thought the subplot about nuclear dilemma was good."

Although Money says she knew nothing about the nuclear issue, she respected the group's advice and delved deeply into the world of the nuclear dilemma and hasn't been the same since.

Starting from scratch again, Money sketched out an outline for her musical. She laughs when she remembers the encouragement of Dr. Walter Barr, an associate professor of music at CU-Denver.

"He would say, 'I'm sorry; I think you turned left.' He was very gentle with his criticism," she says.

Money had the nucleus of the play completed by the end of spring semester. Detailing the script meant several field trips.

"I spent the day at the Air Force Academy.

At one point I had my heroine put in jail, so I wanted to go to jail. But they wouldn't put me in jail because they thought it was too dangerous." Instead Money got a guided tour around the Denver county jail.

Money's research into the world of nuclear armament bas changed her outlook on life as well as on herself.

"There's no way I could ever be the same person. I've become a member ofa wu derful group called 'Physicians for Social Res po nsi bili ty' who are aware of the implications of a nuclear war," she says.

She is also a member of "Beyond War," which was established in 1981 and is based in California.

"Their belief is that war, because of nuclear weapons, has become obsolete as a method of solving conflict because anyone could potentially escalate a war."

Money also belongs to Greenpeace. But these organizations haven't steered her from her desired goal; they've only broadened her perspectives. ..My interest for my own life is to become a composer. I'm not a social activist, but awareness of these issues changed my life. I refuse to pretend any longer. I will continue my support of these groups, but my commitment is to my music," she explains.

So what started as a musical about romance turned into a musical/ drama about how personal growth can occur in a situation in which the nuclear dilemma acts as a catalyst.

Money's next play is already sketched out - this one will focus on toxic waste.

"It's in a Broadway format, so people will pay attention. All the marches ... all the protests ... haven't really changed anything. I think a musical/ drama would be a way to enlighten people about the problem," she says.

Money adds that good theatre examines how issues affect people and the growing that occurs because of these issues.

"It can't be a presentation of all the facts of all sides because the audience has to respond to a character, not to an issue."

Money's next step is the finafuation of her script, which is being polished by Gail Spencer. On March 28, the Colorado Dramatists ~tion will read the script and make suggestions for revisions. Then

17

rehearsals begin with the finished product for a one-day performance during a peace movement at the Deep West Regional Conference on Non-violent Alternative Solutions to War, which will be Aug. 11-15.

Money says she'll continue her work at Lutheran Medical Center, where she handles such cases as appendicitis, gall bladder surgery and breast surgery. And in the summer when she has more time, she'll work on the clinical staff at the University of Colorado Medical Center and work with medical students on surgery principles. .

Money, a junior now at CU-Denver, hopes to p~ her keyboard proficiency test this semester. And when she graduates in 1989, she'll continue her education in the master's program for musical composition.

"Within five years; I'll probably leave medicine. It all depends on how successful I am. Music is demanding and exciting," she says, acknowledging such support from CUDenver faculty and Alfred Defalco, her former husband, has kept her going.

"My former husband has been my strongest supporter. I would call him my collaborator at this point."

How can Money trade in the security of her job in the medical profession for the risky world of music and theatre?

"Medicine is not what it used to be. I've carved out my niche. I have a great deal of freedom. I knew I was interested in music. I had no idea I was interested in composition.

It just came like a thunderbolt.

"I'm willing to take a chance to be successful.'' o

Prof gains liberation through past Alex McCall Reporter

MSC anthropology professor Anne Bolin sits bolt-upright at her desk, talking at breakneck speed about her new book, her class and several projects she has in the works.

As she speaks, she flashes a dazzling smile and pauses to stress important points. Her statements are clear, concise, and solidly backed by factual points. She is enthusiastic, and, while jumping from subject to subject, her direction clear, her topics fascinating.

"Anthropology is very much a part of my life; it always has been. I was a military 'brat' and my family moved 13 times. I have a METROPOLITAN

sister who was born in China, I was born in Buffalo, N.Y. - my appendix is buried in Hong Kong!"

Traveling gave her the opportunity to experience different cultures, which led to an interest in anthropology. She finds anthropology liberating because it is "against racism, sexism, and cultural bias."

Bolin says she is specifically interested in society's alleged gender differences. The definitions and terms of gender are a main focus of her class, Women, Culture and Society.

"Gender is not biological. It is learned.'"

Further, she explains, not all cultures have a gender system constructed of two separate STATE COLLEGE

genders. She points out that several Indian cultures have systems constructed of more than two genders in which the roles of the 'sexes,' especially in the area of sexual object choice, are blurred. But, she stresses, that choice is not a gender characteristic in these cultures, as it is in the western world Bolin has written a book which focuses on learned gender and the problems that arise in our culture when a person's gender is not defined. In Search ofEve is an ethnography on transsexuals, the only anthropological study on transsexualism to date.

"The book illustrates the transsexual's total symbolic transformation of identity.

They, in effect, change their gender."

The book describes the three stages of the gradual changes in the transsexual's identity.

The common term 'coming out of the closet' has a quite literal meaning as applied to these stages. In the first stage, the transsexual experiences a period of denial, in which any and all vestiges of female clothes will be purged from their closet. This leads to the second stage, when they begin to accept the changes.

Bolin likens this stage, when the transsexual may appear in ultra-glamorous clothing and wearing too much makeup, to a little girl's learning to be a woman.

"We (women) all at one time wore too much makeup and tottered on high heels. It's a necessary stage in development."

Finally, the transsexual goes through a total symbolic transformation, when all male clothes are left behind, along with the old identity.

In Search ofEve is a scientific study. As a scientist, Bolin believes in the "participant. observation" approach to research, wherein the researcher is completely immersed in the subject's culture.

While in her master's program at the University of Colorado in Boulder studying Urban Anthropology/Americanism, a hom<r sexual friend got Bolin interested in the "gay movement" and she joined the Gay Liberation Front. She later focused on studying transsexuals.

In Search of Eve is the result of several years of intensive research, which included a stint as vice president of the Berdache Society, a grass-roots organi:zation which serves as a kind of support group for transsexuals and transvestites.

The book was published in January and is available at the Auraria Book Center.

Currently, she is hard at work on a new book, to be titled, Elegant Ironworks, about women in bodybuilding. Again, the focus is on gender, especially the rules and terms of femininity.

"Femininity is cultural, not biological," she asserts. "There are conditioned differences in strength and athletic ability between men and women. But, women have come a long way toward shortening that gap." She

• Anne Bolin

points out that between 1964 and 1984, women have taken one and a half hours off their average marathon running times, while the men's time has diminished only by minutes.

Bolin's interest in the role of gender in bodybuilding came about after she saw the film Pumping Iron II a year and a half ago. ''The movie dealt with incorrigible (abandoned) definitions- margins offeminity. It really made me want to try bodybuilding."

With a little help from her husband, Bolin got into a bodybuilding program and now works out daily, both with a training partner and a professional trainer.

As a part of her total immersion in bodybuilding for Elegant Ironworks, Bolin is training to become a contest judge and also hopes to someday compete.

She is interested in competition between females.

"I wonder how they compete. Women are socializ.ed to be nurturing, men are.not.

How this manifests culturally may lead to certain ways ofcompeting. For example, is it easier for women to compete on a friendly basis? What differences in the trainerI client relationship exist between males and females?"

Another concern is pain. "Women are socialized to avoid pain. In bodybuilding you are taught to go lo the pain,-and go past pain." She is closely studying how women adapt to this kind of overtraining.

She sees Elegant Ironworks as a severalyear project, so she keeps busy in the meantime with her class, research for her book, ' and a project with archaeologist and MSC professor Jonathan Kent dealing with graves, burial patterns and gender. Along with all of this, she is seeking employment in the outof-state cultural anthropology job market.

At a remark on her familiar-sounding • name, Anne Bolin glances at a printed painting above her desk of Henry Vill's wife (the one who was beheaded for bearing a daughter instead of a son) and relates, "In college I wrote a paper about transsexuals.

The title page read, 'God Save the Queen, by , Anne Bolin.' She glances again at poor Anne Boleyn and smiles. o

Women are so emotional.

Rep. Gloria Travis Tanner, D-Denver, agrees and urges women to bring that emotional perspective into the political realm.

"Yes, we're more emotional, but that makes us more sensitive to people's needs," the 1974 MSC graduate says. "We look at the whole picture. We see the humanistic perspective, not just the business side (of issues)."

Bringing the woman's point of view into politics makes for a better, more responsible government, Tanner says.

Of the four bills she proposed during this legislative session, two have addressed domestic issues - giving parental rights to adoptive parents and allowing women to keep their jobs after marrying a co-worker.

"It's always the woman who has to leave," she says.

Women propose about 80 percent of the bills on child care and health care, according to Tanner, because "we know the needs are there."

And what better way to get the needs recognired? Recruit more women.

Tanner founded the Colorado Black Women for Political Action in 1977, and now over 500 members are actively involved

'

in Colorado's two chapters.

The group sponsors educational workshops and monitors boards and committees to make sure black women have adequate representation.

She began her political career at age 12, passing out literature for her mother, then a committeewoman in Atlanta, and Tanner's role model.

Tanner returned to college in her late 30s and received her bachelor's in political science from Metro and her master's in urban affairs from the University ofColorado at Denver.

In 1982, after working for many elected officials, including former Gov. Richard Lamm and former Lt. Gov. George Brown, Tanner hit the campaign trail to run for her current position.

"I actually thought I had won for two weeks - and then they found a (forgotten) ballot box," the youthful-looking 52-yearold remembers. "I really lost by 36 votes."

Also during the campaign, Tanner found out her husband had cancer. He died less than 90 days after the election.

But she picked herself up and in 1984 became a state representative. She is running for a third term this fall.

"I think women still have a lot of obstacles in politics," Tanner says, "but it'~ not as

hard (being) on the Democratic side, because it's more hberal."

However, when met with opposition on any given issue, she finds it hard to determine whether that opposition stems from her affiliation with the minority party, her sex or her race.

"Being a woman and a minority gives you a lead, an edge, to deal with problems. It makes you stay in and fight," says the minority caucus chairwoman.

'Small brains' to the vote

c

Diane Gemma Reporter

Today's struggle for women's rights is as fierce as ever, but 200 years ago it was but a foundlirtg of rebellion.

By 1812, education for women had made little progress. It was almost a universal belief, that a woman's brain was smaller in capacity and therefore inferior in quality to that of a man's.

By the onset of the Civil War in 1861, the early women's rights movement showed litthe interest in getting the vote. Of more immediate concern were the control of property, earnings, guardianship, divorce, opportunity for education and employment,

legal status (women still could not sue) and the concept of female inferiority perpetuated by established religion.

The 1880s and '90s were a period of huge and rapid industrial growth. Women were working and becoming more organired and educated. Although women were separated by states, they pushed together for a hard fought victory that actually began long before the 19th amendment was finally pa.s.5ed, even getting the amendment through the U.S. Senate took over a year and a half.

But in August 1920, women's suffrage became a reality.

The above information is from Century of Struggle by Eleanor Flexner.

When Tanner decides to quit fighting within the political realm, she's sure she will always be involved in the community.

She says she won't seek another elected office but will try to keep up with the new laws and policies and try to keep the community involved as best she can. And she would like to travel and see the world.

"Once I leave public office, I will look back on it and say I enjoyed it very much."

Baseball team cures cabin fever with win Robert J. Ritter Associate Editor

A case of the indoor blues resulted in six errors, but the MSC men's baseball team rallied in time to score six runs in the top of the ninth inning and beat cros.s-town rival University of Denver 11-9 March 14.

Errors committed by the Roadrunners were the result of a six-day layoff and six games cancelled due to the weather. ''The weather break has hurt. We had been inside for six days and that hurt us,"

coach Bill Helman said. "We had six errors and another half-dozen mental errors."

The first five errors left Metro behind 8-2 after six innings, leading Helman to some apprehensive thoughts. ''They're leading 8-2, and I'm thinking, 'We don't deserve to win.'"

Metro scored three runs in the top of the seventh, but left the bases loaded.

The Pioneers answered with one run and led 9-5 going into the last inning. Neither team scored in the eighth, but Metro was saving its best for last.

Basketball awards announced· Metropolitan staff The MSC women's basketball season may have been a little on the tragic side, but there were still high points in the 3-21 season.

Coach Cindy Guthals recently announced the 1987-88 team awards. At the top of the list was senior forward Sharon Coleman.

She was voted by team members as the most valuable player of the year.

Guthals said that the vote was close between Coleman and junior center Carrie Herschfeldt. Guthals said that neither expected the award for herself. "(Coleman) was real happy- she's a real modest person."

Although Herschfeldt led the team in both scoring and rebounding, Coleman was

recognized for her intangible contributions to the team. "'I think Sharon does a lot of things that don't show up in the stats," Guthals said.

Another reason the team selected Coleman was because of her four-year commitment to the team. In contrast, this was Herschfeldt's first vear with the Roadrunners. If Herschreldt's contnbutions continue, look for her at next year's awards.

Also receiving a team award as the team's most improved player was junior guard Verna Julaton.

Other team members recognized by Guthals and assistant coach Chris Strater were: sophomore forward Trina Forsey, best defensive player; Coleman, most inspirational player, and Herschfeldt won the team's rebounding award.

D

The Roadrunners exploded for six runs in the top of the ninth inning, then held DU scoreless in the bottom for the win.

"We mixed a lot of hits and walks and they blew it," Helman said.

Third baseman Rusty Befus, first baseman Torin Berge and catcher Dave Gudridge all hit two-out singles. Gudridge's hit was good for two runs and the game-winning score.

Then Mike Scarpella pitched a strong ninth for the victory.

"Scarpella has taken over the role of

'

stopper for us. He did it against UNC (a 15-11 Metro win) with a perfect ninth," Helman said.

Helman also used four pitchers against DU, something he may do more often. ,, "(Starter) Mike Nussbaum worked ahead of a lot of hitters. They ended up tagging him for seven runs, but we made errors behind him. Dan Taylor and Duane Ackerfelds both pitched well," Helman said. ''They're all pretty good pitchers and there's not much difference between them."

Softball team routs Mines Eric Mees

Assistant Editor

The MSC women's softball team routed the Colorado School of Mines 194 March 15 behind the powerful hitting of shortstop Linda Kagle.

Kogle just missed hitting for the cycle, but did hit a grand slam, a triple and a single for a total of six runs batted in. Left fielder Kate Erickson also collected three hits in the snow-bound game: two singles and a double for one RBI. Not to be overlooked in the game was Julie Kollman's pitching. She had six strikeouts and five walks in her four innings for her second win (compared to no losses) of the season. Leslie Durant and Rachel Valdez pitched the final two innings of the 10-runrule shortened game. If a team is leading by 10 or more runs after six innings, the contest

is halted.

"They're playing pretty well," said firstyear coach Joan Tamblin of her 8-3 .

Roadrunners. The team is considerably improved over last year's team, who finished 6-28.

But they still have a tough road ahead of them. On March 22 and 23, they play two games on the road against Northwest Missouri. Tamblin said it is always a tough ,,. team, but she thinks MSC is ready.

Another bright spot on the team is junior pitcher Brenda Losinski. This season she is 5-0 - a far cry from last year's 5-18 record.

Regardless of the final outcome of the season, the Roadrunners have proven themselves worthy of some sort of "most improved" title. The team will be back at Metro on March 30 to face the Mines team · again, so turn out and show your support.D

~Title

can only benefit

IX stronger with new legislation

Robert Ritter Associate Editor

H you mention Title IX to most teenagers 'today, they would probably think you were talking about a Rocky sequel. Or a Beatles' album.

Few would recogni:ze the landmark legislation that, after its approval in 1972, prohibited sex discrimination in programs or •activities in schools that receive federal funds.

Sixteen years after its inception, Title IX, which lost momentum after a Supreme ·court decision in 1984, is alive and well and regaining strength.

According to Dr. Susan Schafer o( the Colorado Department ofEducation's Educational Equity Program, the resurgence of Title IX can only help female athletes.

"The Civil Rights Restoration Act should restore Title IX to its institutional coverage," ~she said.

The act, which was sponsored by Sen. Bob Packwood, R-Ore., among others, has already passed the House and Senate.

President Reagan had threatened to veto the bill, but Schafer said that shouldn't be a problem.

1 • "It's already passed and I think, this being an election year, it will pass over any veto by a·large margin," she said.

She added that Reagan's motives are disconcerting to her.

"The man's reasoning just drives me crazy. My paraphrase (of his reasoning) is that he doesn't want equality to go too far."

Title IX lost much of its power in 1984 after the Supreme Court decision in the case of Grove City vs. Bell. The decision took a more narrow view of Title IX, saying that specific programs that don't receive federal money don't have to comply with guidelines of Title IX. "That decision was sweeping. It opened a lot of loopholes for discrimination based on sex," Schafer said. "That was a real departure from the past. We just didn't have the force of the law behind us."

But the new act states that schools, not just programs or activities, receiving federal funds must not discriminate based on sex.

Schafer said the new legislation will make college adminstrators, in particular, take notice.

"It will wake up the college administrators to the problems and see what the disparity is between opportunities for women and men athletes. And they'll be open to a lot more litigation. Every college should work on a three- or five-year plan to bring the men's and women's teams to parity," Schafer said.

MSC women's basketball coach Cindy Guthals said, recent development aside, she doesn't see too bright a future for women's teams.

"I read an article that said that (funding for men's and women's college teams) is "!1

,. Ex-student makes way to the majors

J .R. Smith sings ' Staff O' say can you see Metro's J.R. Smith singing the national anthem in front of 30,000 baseball fans? r You probably won't unless you attend the March 19 exhibition between the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland Athletics at Mile High Stadium.

Smith, who sang before most of the MSC men's basketball home games, said this will be his biggest crowd ever. ~ "I sang before 10,000 at the Denver Cup at Mile High last year," he said, referring to

last year's league championship game between the MSC and DU baseball teams.

Smith said he was told by a Zephyr's representative to expect between 20,000 and 30,000 fans for Saturday's game.

"I'll be nervous. I've done it so many times before, it's a tad bit anti-climatic, but I enjoy it," Smith said.

Smith, who does everything from keeping score at MSC baseball games to helping organi:ze homecoming, works in the athletic office's promotion department.

never going to be the same. That's discouraging," Guthals said.."I don't know that it will ever be the same, but if it is, it won't be in my lifetime. The progress is in little steps."

She added that the unequal budgeting bothers her some, but it also forces her to use her imagination.

"I think it brings out the creativity in me. I believe there's a way to do anything you want. You just have to find it."

Guthal's counterpart on the women's softball and volleyball teams, Joan Tamblin, said the bottom line is money.

"The boosters want to invest their money in revenue-making sports. I can understand it, but it's still difficult to deal with," Tamblin said.

But sh.e added that the situation at Metro affords an excellent opportunity for women's sports.

"We get great support, from the amount of money in the budget to all the support from the staff around here."

Guthals agreed and said that Metro's administration places the right amount of emphasis on the athletic programs. "(MSC interim president) Fulkerson came with the right frame of mind: 'You take what you have and do your best with it'" Schafer said the idea of parity between men~s and women's teams is not hard to understand.

"You look at the men's and women's teams. The men have more coaches and

scholarships, and that's not parity," she said.

"I don't think equity is a very difficult concept. To me it's real simple. The women get half of the money and the media coverage and so on. Of course the men don't want to give up their domination of sport, but women want to participate too." o

REFERENDUM #1

•

I am in favor of adopting the revised ASMSC Constitution as drafted Spring 1988 by the ASMSC Constitutional Convention.

YES NO _ _

REFERENDUM #2 I fully understand the current method by which C.O.P.l.R.G. will obtain students' contributions at the time of registration; namely, a "negative check-off" method. I prefer a method that is more responsive to students' rights; namely, a "positive check-off" method, wherein students desiring to contribute to C.O.P.l.R.Gwould make note of that desire either manually or electronically (via phone registration process) at the time of registration.
