Jim Manuel Students could save as much as $80,000 in drop fees if student government presidential candidate Bruce DeWitt can get elected and then carry through on his campaign promises.

DeWitt, and running mate Stacy Sagara, said the drop fee and parking prices contradict Metro's mission to make education affordable.

"We've got the most expensive parking prices in the state," DeWitt said. "That and the drop fee - the only one in the state that I know of - don't make sense at a place that is supposed to be affordable." · DeWitt said, if elected, he will lobby Metro's administration for help to eliminate the fee. If that fails, he will start a petition. among the students to hopefully force the administration to act. If he is successful at the school level, the Consortium ofState Colleges would have to approve it.

MSC students Kelly Martin and Paul Shea have a wish list a safer campus, a solution to the parking problem, a teacher evaluation program and an increase in student involvement on campus.

That's the campaign platform of the prospective president/vice-president team of Martin and Shea.

As members of student government, they have seen these issues gain prominence over the last year and have formed some ideas on solving them.

Martin, a history major and the current student vice-president, is active on the Parking Committee and has helped form the Campus Safety Committee with student Senator Lois Kaness.

Martin believes the student government is becoming a viable force on campus and would like to expand it next year.

Candidate debate sizzled by lights, questions Chad Morris Reporter

Student government candidates squinted, sweated and tried to speak boldly to the invisible audience they knew was watching them during the MSC election debates March28.

The debates were televised for the first time to student lounges throughout the campus.

However, for those who weren't glued to the sets, candidates for the student president; vice-president; student representative to the . Consortium Board of State Colleges, which governs Metro, Adams State, Mesa State and Western State colleges; student representative to the Student Advisory Council to the Auraria Board (SACAB); and six future senators fielded questions ranging from parking to the student drop fee.

The panel, moderated by election commission chairman Craig Hurtt, and consisting of Dr. David Conde. director of Student Affairs at Metro; Jim Manuel, editor of The Metropo/ilan; and Martin Norton, the current student president, grilled the hopefuls on these major issues and more.

Candidates for president and via>-president debated first and, while answering the questions put to them, did not add anything that hadn't already been detailed during interviews beforehand.

Presidential candidate Bruce DeWitt did, however, liven the proceffiing<1 with an impassioned closing statement. He said be was already working for students even though he hadn't been elected yet DeWitt said he'd spoken with interim president William Fulkerson about the student drop fee and the problem it presents to students.

this information even drew a smile from opponent Kelly Martin.

Martin and her running mate, Senator Paul Shea, stressed in their closing statements that they want to give student government back to the students and they want more student involvement.

"Our door is always open," Shea said.

Student involvement turned into a key issue with both teams disagreeing on how it should be increased.

Martin and Shea favor promoting more involvement in student government and events like the Ice Cream Social last fall.

DeWitt and Stacy Segara, his running mate, want to bring controversial speakers like Alexander Haig and Judge Robert Bork to campus. They feel doing those things and promoting student activism on campus will get students more involved.

While their methods differ, all four agreed

student involvement as well as parking and campus safety are major issues to be tackled next year.

Someone else interested in student involvement is Senator Lois Kaness, candidate for student representative to the Board of Trustees.

The representative will, along with the representatives from the other three schools, bring student issues to the board and bring information from the board back to the students. Only one student will be allowed to speak at the board meetinp. Westem ·State's student representative now has that power; it is hoped Metro's student will get it next year.

Kan~ said she'd like to see more student input on problems like the drop fee and increased hours for part-time teachers.

To facilitate this, she says she will institute office hours to make herself available to

students.

Her opponent, Senator Gary Talsma said he would continue to maintain his current office hours and to use the many contacts he has in the state legislature to serve students.

Serving students is also a goal of Patricia Calkins and Dan Holden, who are running for SACAB representative.

SACAB takes recommendations from various student committees to the Auraria Board of Directors for its consideration.

SACAB also oversees referendums that involve all three schools.

Both said they want to be aware of what students want and get those desires to the Auraria Board.

Both said they also see a need to improve communication between SACAB and the Student Facilities Policy Council. Calkins said it was crucial and needed to continue.

The SFPC is a tri-institutional council that advises on Student Center policies.

Another issue both candidates agreed on was the conflict of interest that might be present ifEd Heinrich-Sanchez, a third candidate for SACAB representative, was elected.

Heinrich-Sanchez, currently a SACAB member, did not attend the debate. He works for the Auraria Higher Education Center and is a Metro student. Calkins said he would definitely be biased and it would continue to be a problem. Holden, also a SACAB representative, said he knew of instances where Heinrich-Sanchez sided with AHEC because of his affiliation with them.

With these ~ues addressed, the candidates SACAB representative moved aside to make room for six potential student senators.

·suildings up for grabs Chad Morris Reporter

Anyone want to buy some buildings?

That's what the Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) has been asking since most of the East Oassroom complex was abandoned last December when the North Oassroom was built.

AHEC wanted to sell the buildings to raise funds to help pay for the North Oassroom. However, after the recent real estate crash, unloading them may not be as easy as AHEC hoped This means that Auraria is out about $12 million - the estimated property value of the complex, consisting of the Bromley building, the Tower and the East Classroom - and stuck with the structures that date back to the late '20s and are umafe and unsuitable for class space.

The Bromley building will be used by the CU-Denver College of Architecture and Planning until June 30.

Basically, two possibilities exist, said Kristie Hansen, director of special projects at AHEC. First, there's the chance the buildings may be sold or leased to a private party wanting temporary office space. Some community colleges have expressed interest in the buildings as well, she said.

Second, because a space problem still exists on campus, it may be possible to reopen the East Classroom buildings or at least part of them.

Since the chance of getting more money

from the Legislature to construct additional classroom space is slim, she said AHEC will have to look elsewhere to solve the problem.

"We have to be as creative as possible," she said.

But re-opening the East Classroom could be an expensive proposition.

According to Dean Wolf, director of Auraria Physical Plant, the cost for just bringing the buildings up to standards would be between $4 million and $5.2 million.

Making them like new would cost around $12 million, ironically the same price the property would be sold for.

As they are now, all three buildings would need exterior work on the roofs and interior work such as painting and new lighting. In addition, the fire alarm system would have to be 'repaired or replaced, he said.

Most of the changes to the buildings would have to be made because the buildings are old, he said.

For example, in the Tower, the wooden window frames are rotting, which may cause air conditioning units in the weakened frames to fall onto the street. However, Wolf said the units will probably be removed soon anyway.

If the building is re-occupied, central airconditioning would be installed, he said, eliminating the need for units.

The Bromley building also faces a serious problem. Wolf said exposed asbestos has been found on a water heater in the building.

The area was blocked off, but nothing has been done about removing it.

Asbestos is a fire-proof material used for

File Photo

insulation. In recent years, asbestos fibers in the air have been linked to a variety of problems, such as cancer, in people who breathe them.

Bill Taylor, an inspector for the State Health Department who inspected the campus about four years ago, said he found no evidence of asbestos on the campus.

However, he also said that, at the time, inspectors did not look for asbestos. The Physical Plant migtit be exaggerating the problem, he added.

In any event, the material is there, as well as on pipes in the Tower and East Oassroom, though the latter is considered to be in good enough shape to leave in place.

Wolf confirmed that it would be possible to open only one of the two buildings, probably Bromley and the East Oassroom since they operate off the same air-

conditioning system.

But repairs would still have to be made, he said.

Of the three, the East Qassroom would be the first choice since it is in the best shape.

The heating system needs a lot of work, he said, and basement ceiling beams that extend under 13th Street would have to be replaced, but it's possible.

Repairs are not on AHEC's agenda for the East Classroom, however. Hansen said AHEC has no plan to re-open the buildings, but rather, intends to mothball them until a decision is made or a solution is found.

Just mothballing the building will still cost money, though. Wolf said it will cost around $250,000 a year to maintain the building's heating and fire alarm system.

Anyone still want to buy some buildings?

V·o te to decide CoPIRG -fee fate Diane Gemma Reporter

Those of you who registered this past week for summer semester courses may have unknowingly given three bucks to a cause you may or may not support.

CoPIRG (Colorado Public Interest Research Group) takes an automatic $3 during the registration pr~ via phone or walk-in unless a student actively rejects the idea. Rejecting the idea, however, means hanging up during phone registration and going through the whole pr~ again, or manually checking a box marked "no".

Author and sponsor of a bill against the "negative check-off," student Senator Dan Becker, said he feels students are concerned . about getting their ~lasses and getting

"Right now the burden of education of what the thing is or what it will do for you is on the individual student. I contend the burden should be on CoPIRG itself.

CoPIRG's going to have to be active."

He said he hasn't seen any literature about what CoPIRG does and he doesn't see how it can know how to meet studentneeds ifit's not asking students what they want.

Currently, there is a time period after registration in which students can get their money back. CoPIRG has said it has an office in the Student Center, but Becker said he's never seen an application for office space come through for review.

Students who want to change this system will have an opportunity during student elections on April 5, 6 and 7 by voting "yes" on the ballot issue. o

registered and that the use of registration as a vehicle to get funds is deceiving.

"It being on the registration form legitimizes it, and students feel it must be something they have to pay for," he said.

"Most people don't want to hassle with it.

CoPIRG is going to make a hell of a lot of money off the apathy of the students."

Becker said many people are not familiar with what CoPIRG does or even what it is.

CoPIRG is a non-profit group that lobbies primarily for environmental and consumer concerns.

He said he's afraid people will start realizing later that they're opposed to something CoPIRG is doing and find out they paid to support it.

Becker said it is the responsibility of CoPIRG to educate students.

Crime Beat Two 18-year-old women tried using the "code of the west" tactics in a barroom brawl to settle their differences on St. Patrick's Day in the Mission.

A fight broke out between two half. sisters about 5 p.m. when one accused the other of giving beer to a baby, said Lolly Ferguson of Auraria Public Safety.

Ferguson said the child's aunt accused the mother, and during a fight cut her on the face with a broken piece of glass. The mother was taken to Denver General Hospital for treatment of a head laceration.

Both women were issued general summonses for disturbance by the Denver Police. Neither woman was an Auraria student. o - Laurence C. Washington

Students have allies in tuition increase battle Jana Cohlmla Assistant Editor

. ...

In the fight against the rising cost of college, students have someone in their comer.

Both the Colorado Commission of Higher Education (CCHE) and the Joint Budget Committee (JBC) are battling on behalf of students to keep 1988-89 tuition increases at or below 5 percent Earlier in the year, the CCHE was considering a sliding scale to set tuition increases, which would have allowed hikes of up to 8 percent But at its March 3

meeting, the CCHE voted to give that authority to each college's governing board The CCHE will now have only a negotiating position, rather than sole authority.

"The commission felt very sensitive about retaining flexibility for the institutions to operate," said Geri Reinardy, assistant to the CCHE executive director. "The commission doesn't want to be running institutions that's the governing boards' job."

Reinardy also said the CCHE hopes the boards will set their increases with consideration for the general fund appropriation for higher education and the impact of any increase on ~bility.

Without those policies, we may not have the constraints to keep us better managers (of tuition and state money)."

Gillis added that if tuition does rise more than 5 percent, money will not be taken away from colleges.

"We don't operate that way," he said "We'djust like to have a good understanding up front" Reinardy added, "The commission hopes the governing boards will do what the JBC strongly recommends, which is to limit increases to 5 percent" o

Support groups allve Support groups for women on campus are staying alive even though attendance is lacking, according to Shirley Sims, coordinator of women's services at the MSC Institute of Women's Studies and Services.

The institute offers several services and support groups to aid all students- not just women - with problems ranging from returning to school to dealing with a difficult child The women's support group, which meets noon to 1 p.m. Tuesdays at 1033 Ninth St., offers advice and counseling to women experiencing any number of problems.

The sessions stop short of clinical counseling, but will offer suggestions on where a person can best find the help needed.

"Women in Transition" focuses on the problems women may have during a divorce.

The program incorporates the same open format as the support group, although each facilitator can alter the ses&on as needed, Sims said.

"Women in Transition" meets Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to noon at the Ninth Street Park addre$.

Other services offered by the institute include academic counseling and employment referral.

Sims said the best thing they can do in

The '1~tropolltan

trying to help students is to send them to a specific person to help with a problem.

The institute works closely with outside agencies that can help students with legal problems, finances or more extensive counseling and also sponsors lectures and seminars on campus.

Now, nowl Beginning April 10, the Autaria Ticket Service will be on a "cash only" basis because too many bad checks have been used, according to the Student Facilities Policy Council (SFPC).

"In order to keep the original intent of the Ticket Service - to provide a low-cost ticket outlet for students -the alternative of levying a surcharge to continue the ability to write a check did not seem to be an acceptable solution," an SFPC release states.

You've thought about it.

You've bied to imagine what it would be like.

You know it would be exciting. And a challenge. And quite possibly the most rewarding experience of your life ...

Acting Special Projects administrator Jeff Stamper said he has $550 in bad checks. His office collects on about 10 percent of those.

The ticket service sells 1,500 tickets a month.

The SFPC said the alternative of levying a surcharge to continue the ability to write a check was not feasible, so they went to the cash only policy. ".We regret any inconvenience this may cause you and hope that this new policy will allow the Ticket Service to continue to offer ' ¡ low-cost tickets to all students," the release stated

Procrastination may hinder graduation Joan Davies Copy Editor

It's intimidating, but it's beneficial. It's unique, but it's necessary. And for more than 1,100 MSC students who completed it in time, it means a diploma in May. It is the graduation agreement First utilized in the early 1970s, the graduation agreement is tied into the MSC computer system and offers a way for students and evaluators to determine whether degree requirements have been met According to Nancy Maierhofer, a staff assistant in Admissions and Records, the agreement, now in its third revised form, has been succesmu. The s~ she said, is due in part to students' understanding of the agreement "I think students feel intimidated by it until they really get into it It's not as hard as they think. We started giving workshops about two years ago. A lot of students come to these workshops. Once they do that, and they read the instructions, it really is not as bad as it seems," she said The basic purpose of the agreement is to act as a guideline for courses students need to take. One benefit of the agreement is the academic status report, which students receive at the end of each semester. The report lists courses, based on the agreement, that students have completed and still need to take.

"Then they're not taking courses that maybe won't apply," Maierhofer said The graduation agreement is most beneficial to students who complete it by the suggested time - two years before graduation, she said. An agreement completed early offers students protection against phased-out degree programs, which could force them to alter or change their major.

This situation recently happened to the business education and communication majors.

"Those people are able to finish out their programs. Their department is making su~ stitutions for them. The catch is that as long as you were at Metro under the program, and you don't leave for a year, we honor that program for you,~ Maicrhofer explained.

Students must select degree programs for agreements from catalop in effect during the term of attendance. For instance, students enrolled in the summer of 1987-88 may not use a catalog from a previous school year, but they may use any catalog issued from the time they enroll to the time they leave Metro.

One misconception Maierhofer said students have about graduation agreement evaluators is that the evaluators are "out to get them."

"That is not true at all. We're here to help them. We think the agreement is a gigantic help.

"We're not trying to fool them or keep any hidden policies under our wing so that we can disapprove (the agreement). I think that if students have looked at it and have a general idea, we are more receptive," she said Maierhofer said evaluators review the agreement for general studies, minimum requirements for majors and minors, and the total hours. Students are notified of discrepancies and are required to correct only the problem, not redo the agreement ''That way we don't have to re-evaluate the entire agreement when it comes back.

We just check the particular area that had a problem and fix that on the original."

The major problem Maierhofer said evaluators face is procrastination on the students' behalf.

"We get a whole lot of people who wait until the absolute deadline. (This spring) we were heavily hit I guess we might have gotten 300 within the two-week span of the deadline. That's bad because our turnaround time increases," she said.

Students who miss a deadline must wait until the following semester to receive a diploma, even if their classes have been completed. This is the situation about 300 students face this semester. However, Maierhofer said, students can receive a letter of completion.

"We would make them a letter stating that all requirements have been completed Graduate schools accept them (as well as) employers, teacher certification programs.

But their official graduation wouldn't be until the next semester," she said.

Maierhofer also said anticipated completion dates can be changed, as long as students notify the evaluators by the deadline.

For instance, a fall semester graduate could graduate in the summer if all of his courses have been completed.

"Usually we tell a student to notify us within the first two or three weeks of the semester if he wants to be included with that semester. If their agreement bas been approved, if they have met the deadline, then we'll move them ahead," she said.

Maierhofer cautioned that students must be aware of the credit limitations stated in the catalog. It's rare that evaluators make

mistakes on agreements, she said, but there was an instance of a student not graduating because she took the wrong kind of elective credits.

"It was one of those things where it's a little bit of everybody's fault. That is the only one that I can remember where it was a fault in our system, but we weren't aware of it.

And so often you get students who say, 'No one told me.' But they have to become responsible for their own selections too," she said.

She suggested attending workshops or talking to an adviser for better understanding of the agreement But her strongest encouragement is reserved for the deadline.

"Our deadline times are the times we get people who try to put them together at the very last moment, and those have a lot of errors. Those are probably the most crucial, too, because people have waited until the deadline thinking they're okay, and they find they have problems."

Students who expect to graduate in the summer must submit a graduation agreement

by Friday, April 1. A workshop for fall graduation agreements is scheduled for April 26. For more information, students can call 556-3068.

future. Both of their mothers graduated from Metro. DeWitt's mother, a 1980 graduate, is now director of Social Services in Seattle, and Sagara's mother, 1982 graduate, works as a vocational counselor for Colorado.

Sagara said she would lilce to see a regular women's lecture series next year. Believing women often don't get the exposure to role models in their fields, she said she would like to see the series cover a wide spectrum of professions.

The two candidates said they don't buy into the theory that Metro students are apathetic. They said students often don't get the information they need to spark an interest, but when they do they act.

"When students want to get something done, they will," DeWitt said.

They plan on continuing the campaign to

improve campus safety with better lighting and urge students to use the shuttle service.

They'd also like to see the escort service up and running.

DeWitt also wants to carry the battle for increased higher education funding to the state Legislature and the governor's office.

"Colorado ranks 46th in the nation as far as money spent per student for higher education. I would like to see a protest at the Joint Budget Committee's office to let them know we don't like that. Also, Romer played an important role in beginning this school. I think he should get more involved."

DeWitt and Sagara praised current president Martin Norton for his efforts to make student government a stronger voice and said they would continue on the same path.

The election will be April 5, 6 and 7. D

Candidates debate avenue to becoming involved on campus.

He said be would like to see more input from night students, because they should have a voice in what happens on campus.

Steve Bowen bas been a senator for the last year. He said be thinks student government is definitely going in the right direction and he wants to be part of it. He also said he would like to see more funding for sports clubs lilce the Football Club. There is a big backing, but no funds, he said.

Dan Becker, who is running for reelection as a senator, said his orig\nal motivation for running was he was tired of listening to people, including himself, complain about problems on campus. He decided to do something and become a senator. He would like to continue promoting student involvement and awareness on

rrompga

campus.

Zak Zoah says Metro is a school with growth potential, but it needs help. What it needs is input from the students who go there. His main interest is serving his constituents helping Metro grow.

Joel Kleg said Metro had a lot of problems like assaults on women that must be stopped soon. Many of the programs like the Ice Cream Social, which was intended to promote student involvement, fail because they oriented to the wrong age group. When the median age at Metro is 28, Ice Cream Socials just won't work, he said.

Dennis Bryant, a senator this year, said simply: "Campus safety, parking, recreational expansion and the drop fee, these can chang~ if you let us know."

The elections are April 5, 6 and 7.

Martin and Shea offer stability for next year ,,...

Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) continues to offer proposals of its own.

"We want to make sure they (AHEC) follow up," Shea said.

Martin and Shea consider parking another big issue.

With the construction of the Auraria Parkway starting soon, the campus stands to lose about 350 parking spaces as early as April, Martin said. That means students will notice the parking problem even more by the end of the spring semester.

Martin and Shea's solution calls for Auraria to gain a~ to the Tivoli parking lot.

Currently, the lot has a thr~hour time limit, and a minimum of $5 must be spent at any

Tivoli shop for free parking, making it the most expensive lot on campus. If Auraria could make a deal with the Tivoli to use the lot, Shea said, it would partially solve the problem.

Shea also suggested bicycling or riding the bus as the best solution to avoiding the parking problem.

The pair also favors a teacher evaluation program similar to the University of Colorado's. lo that program, teachers are reviewed at the end of every semester, and the results are made available to students, Shea said.

Faculty at Metro have held back on the idea so far, he said.

However, Martin predicts the program

UNITED PARCEL - SERVICE -

"will just fly ...

"It's something whose time has come," Shea said.

Making the results available to students would help them select their teachers more effectively, Martin said.

Another major item on Martin and Shea's agenda is getting students more involved on campus.

They suggest getting senators to become more visible on campus, promoting input from night students and having more student events.

Shea said if senators announced to class members at the beginning of the semester that they were senators, they might get more

input from the students they represent.

Many senators aren't vocal enough, he said.

Both candidates said they would like to hear more from night students at Auraria because there isn't a voice in student government for them.

Martin and Shea would like to see such facilities as the book store and the cafeteria made more available to these students, and they intend to work toward this goal.

Martin said such events as the Ice Cream Social help to get students more involved, and she would like to see more of them next year.

VOTE

One word says it al I If a baseball player gets a hit in 30 percent of his at bats, he's rewarded with a million dollar contract.

If a student answers 60 percent of the questions on a multiple choice test correctly, he or she is rewarded with a passing grade.

So what happens if more than 10 percent of the Metro State students vote in the upcoming student government elections? Some would call it amazing.

Miraculous would be a more appropriate adjective.

This will be the fourth election I've witnessed. That qualifies me as a veteran watcher of campus elections - a dubious honor to say the least.

In each of those years, I daresay more than 15 percent of the student body has voted in any of the elections. This is a shame when you consider that all it takes to vote is a valid ID and five minutes.

Fifty students showing up to hear Tim Wirth speak

These stodent politicians work long hours attending long, sometimes tedious (but necessary) committee meetings. They spend their extra energy making sure students are fairly represented.

Casting a vote means more than giving a mandate to a group of representatives. It also shows the administration and the trustees and the board that the students of MSC care about what happens to their school outside of the classroom.

So let's turn out in record numbers (anything over 15 percent) . Show the student representatives their time and effort is appreciated. And show that Metro is worth five minutes of your time.

on campus is a disgrace. Large segments of the school population unaware that a shanty has been constructed on campus to protest American investment in South Africa is startling.

But when less than one-tenth of the students don't take the time and effort to cast a vote for next year's student government, that is a blatant disregard for a precious right; a right not to be taken lightly.

But if we use this right, we can have a say in who will represent us to the Auraria Board, the trustees and the MSC administration for the next year. All that's necessary is a stop by the voting booths in the Student Center main corridor or the West Classroom southeast stairwell between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. on April 5, 6 or 7.

The work performed by the student body president, vice president and senators is invaluable.

- Robert Ritter Associate Editor

Senator frustrated but not fed up To the Editor: Frustration. That's what got me involved in Metro's student government last spring. It wasn't the possible embroidering of a resume or a chance at some easy Jit- · cash (members of the student senate aren't paid) or even to participate in a new experience, something I'm constantly looking for. Frustration did it.

Frustration that my representatives didn't have a handle on their responsibilities; frustration that I hadn't taken a proactive stance in helping shape my ow~college experience and environment; fiustration that what 20 years ago students all across our nation fought so hard to obtain - respect and representation - was slipping from our grasp on this campus.

So here I am today, one of your elected representatives, looking from the inside out, rather than the outside in. Today I see a student government that is concerned about your well-being, an administration (MSC) that is receptive to allowing students to take a formidable role in improving your college experience, a faculty senate that is working toward academic excellence, and finally, a year that I can be proud of participating in.

You'd think then that my frustrations would be quelled. Hal Ten months, seven committees/posts and 140 meetings later (Yes, I keep track. I'm masochistic in that way.) , I'm still frustrated.

What will it take, you ask? Ah, let me count the ways.

1) A solution, both interim and permanent, to a parking problem that we have yet to see the worst of.

Come next fall semester, we'll be lucky to see a provision for parking 10 percent of this campus community's individuals at any one time of the day.

Hey guys, you can't teach us if we can't get here! I'm sure we'll hear from you on this one about Sept. 1.

2) Federal financial aid legislation that stops crippling students' chances to get a quality education. Isn't it time to bring some long-term solutions to this problem? Or do many of us have to stop going to school until the national debt is satisfied? As it stands now, students get mad at the Financial Aid office, the Financial Aid office gets mad at the everchanging federal policies and the Feds just get mael and do something as equally short-sighted as before.

3) How about some solution to the lack of · classroom space? Even with the completion of the Ollie North Classroom building we're about 30 percent short of what we really need. Oh, for the day when we don't have to play musical classrooms for t.h e first half of the semester.

4) How about a president with staying power? I'm scared as hell that an individual whom I consider to be the the most qualified to lead this school through some tough years ahead. one Bill Fulkerson. won't be arou~d in a coupJe of months. I respect and

admire this man, like few others I know. We need you, Bill. Please stay.

5) An AHEC administration that doesn't turn a deaf ear to student, administrative and faculty opinions when they happen to be contrary to their own goals and objectives. Recently, a member of the upper echelon of AHEC mentioned that he indeed has his own agenda that will NOT be influenced by your representatives' opinions. Seems that when we went to deciding on how we felt about something other than the coJor of the walls, our ·opinion~ became discountable, even traitorous, tD hear some talk . I thought we left parental discretion at home some years ago. Stay tuned for next week's i 11 ustrious reply. It should say something about "sour grapes," "lack of communicative skills" and that no one should pay attention to such outrageous allegations.

6) Cutting it short, not to be confused with the end of the list, I'll say that I hope that many of you "on the outside" looking in, will help next year's student government in what ever way you can. This campus might just provide you with the most visible example of how your input and participation in government can effect a change in your daily lives. Maybe if more of us get with it at this level, it won't be so hard to get

···-

involved in local, county, state and federal levels in the future. So stop in the office (Student Center 340C), give us a ring (556-3253) or drop us a line through the campus mail (Box 74) . Make it count; stand up and be counted . You might be pleasantly surprised to find a group of students who were once sitting where you are (and sometimes wish they still were) .

Frustration. Probably some of my peers in student government would agree that they're frustrated, too.

I wouldn't presume to know or speak for them. I've enough to do to speak of my own. But you'll notice that the term " fed up" doesn't appear in this letter. I think it IS safe to say that my colleagues and I would rather be frustrated while attempting to effect beneficial changes for you than to throw in the towel. We take our victories, may they be ever so humble and slow in coming . We're not fed up, and - we're not asking for some type of sympathy or pat on the head. We're asking for your help, in whatever way you might give it.

To the Editor: I would like to take a moment to encourage the students of MSC to vote in the upcoming ASMSC student government elections on April 5, 6, and 7.

We, the members of the criminal justice fraternity.

Delta Lambda Epsilon, the largest organization of its type on campus with over 200 members. would like to tu rther encourage the students of MSC to vote for Bruce DeWitt and Stacey Sagara as we would like to announce our support and endorsement for Bruce and Stacey for President and Vice-President, respectively.

Bruce has been involved in the fraternity for several years. During that time he has worked very hard to better the fraternity and the students of the criminal justice department. We feel that it would be a very positive step for both the college and for Bruce to lead this college into the future. Bruce has a strong and powerful vision of the future and we know that a person with his unique and persistent style of leadership can lead the college.

Therefore we strongly urge you, the students, to get out and vote for Bruce DeWitt and Stacey Sagara. We know that they will do a great job.

Shantytown: More than a few shacks George White Reporter The tall blond student walks briskly westward along Lawrence Street. Her blue bookbag bounces on her shoulder and her rose sunglasses reflect the bright afternoon sun. As she ~ the small cluster of students standing on the lawn behind the Emmanuel Gallery, her right hand drops a dollar into a small plastic cup that stands on a pole near the sidewalk. She walks on, vaguely waving her hand to the group as she hears their thanks.

Pausing on the hill by the Student Center, she takes the time to explain her donation.

"I don't know a lot about what they're trying to do,'' she says, "but you have to love their conviction, don't you?"

On March 16 and 17, 10 Auraria Campus students built a shantytown out of plywood, cardboard and tarps on the Lawrence Street side of the Physical Education building. They've been there since, most of them spending every night, including spring break, huddled together in sleeping bags in their three makeshift huts.

"It gets real cold at night," says Joe O'Mara, 20, an MSC sophomore and shantytown resident.

The Auraria Students for Divestment have foresaken their warm homes and beds in protest of a $340,000 bond that the University of Colorado has with the Caterpillar Company, a firm that does business in South Africa.

"We're here to educate the Auraria community about a situation we think is very wrong," says Jeff Branson, a CU-Denver sophomore. "We're here to convince the CU Board of Regents that they should not maintain investments with companies that do business in South Africa. And, of course, we're here as a call for the end of apartheid."

A similar demonstration in Boulder ended March 26 with the removal of a larger shantytown and the arrest of 23 persons on the CU-Boulder campus. That protest was marred by tension and violence, including an emotional outburst by the students at a March 17 Regents meeting that resulted in the destruction of school property. It w~ at that meeting that the Regents voted 7-1 against dissolving the Caterpillar bond and maintaining their policy of "selective divestment."

"The Boulder movement was fueled by a lot of anger and tension," Branson says. "We were sparked by their protest, but this is a different approach we're trying here."

Th~ Denver shanties were built after a March 16 Apartheid Awareness rally on the Auraria campus that attracted alm6st 100 people.

"The idea was to show support for the Boulder protest, but to also go beyond that towards making more people here aware of the problem," Branson says. "The shantytown is a way of visibly demonstrating - it becomes a daily reminder."

And there are students like Mark S. Griffith, a 27year-old MSC chemistry major, who stopped and debated against divestment with Williams and Aaron Harburg for almost an hour one afternoon.

"They're certainly intelligent and sincere," Griffith said later about the residents, "but they're also misguided. People and demonstrations like this are concerned with appearances. Where's the substance?"

A healthy debate is something the protesters want more of, Williams says.

"We're all for people stopping by and talking to us.

That's an aim - to get people to start talking about this issue," be says. 'We encourage anyone to stop by the shantytown and talk to us, agreeing or disagreeing."

It's been a new experience for the protesters, most of

whom have participated in rallies at Martin Marietta and Rocky Flats, but none of whom, with the exception of Harburg, who lived in the Boulder shanties for two weeks, has been this physically dedicated to an issue.

The size of the shantytown fluctuates, but 10 residents - five MSC students, four CU-Denver students and one CCD student- have stayed overnight almost every night since the shacks were built.

"There's been almost 25 people who have stayed at least one night, but the 10 of us have been here pretty much the whole time," says Steven Williams, 20, an MSC English major.

Support has come in donations of food, blankets and money, Williams says.

"At first we thought it would be a hostile situation, but the support we've received has been great," Branson says.

Although the message of the students is being sent to the Regents, it will be up to the Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) to decide when the shanties will come down.

"It's really not a UCO issue since the property is owned by AHEC," says Bob Nero, the CU-Denver director of public relations, adding, however, that the university's position was reflected in the 7-1 vote of the Regents.

Richard Bernick, the lone Regent voting for total divestment, agrees the Regents are probably not feeling much pressure from the Auraria effort.

"It's AHEC property, so this isn't really pressuring the Regents," he says, noting that the issue might better be served by waiting until next January, when three new Regents will take their posts.

Consequently, it has been AHEC, through Executive Director Morgan Smith, that has dealt directly with the shantytown residents. ''They have a right to be there," Smith says. "So far it's been kept quite small and it doesn't seem to be interfering with anyone else. We have an obligation to support the freedom of speech aspect of this."

AHEC has provided the residents with a grill to warm themselves and cook on, and a fire extinguisher.

Fire safety was one of the reasons cited for the removal of the Boulder shanties.

With the ugliness of the Boulder incidents in mind, however, Smith has warned the protesters not to let things get out of hand.

"We have no problem with the students at this point, but I'd like to keep this an in-house thing. I don't want people from outside coming in and getting involved," he says, noting the possibility of ousted ¡ Boulder residents moving their activities to Auraria, a situation the protesters claim they'd like to avoid as well.

"We want to keep it a campus thing. We need support from Boulder but this demonstration is for Auraria," Williams says.

After two weeks, the shantytown residents sound like they're pleased with the responses to their protest.

Cars honk as they pass and people wave in support as they walk by. Likewise, some students air their disagreement.

"Most just shout things from their cars - stuff like, 'Get a job' or 'How was your spring break?' - we just figure you can't change everybody," Williams says.

It's also been a new experience for the campus which, with its commuter personality and diverse demographics, has never really had a good look at an on-<:ampus protest.

"The immediate goal is to change the vote of the Regents," says Branson, "but we're also trying to shake people up around here, get them involved in issues that ultimately affect all of us."

And the protesters, with their day-glo, slogancovered shacks, are certainly shaking up the Auraria community. The shantytown gets noticed by all who walk past and, consequently, people are voicing their opinions of the rag-tag shanty dwellers.

From the tall, athletic young man who shouts, "You're ruining the grass" to the shorter, middle-aged woman, who, not five minutes later, walks past applauding.

"You guys are heroes," she says. And the shantytown residents who hear her each smile a bit. o

Students' futures designed with contract major/minor,

RESUMES Say more about you than WORDS

John Gegner

Your Resume has to open doors for you!

Reporter

Museum management Nonprofit administration Aerospace finance.

Entrepreneurship and venture management.

These titles sound more like course offerings than MSC degree programs.

Although one can't find these majors listed in the MSC course catalog, there are students on the Auraria campus pursuing degrees with such titles.

Even with the wide diversity of majors and minors at Metro, the need occasionally arises for a major or minor that does not fit existing catalog programs. Through the little-known Contract Major/Minor Program, Metro students are able to attain a specific, individualiz.ed educational objective not found in the catalog.

A contract major/minor is an organiwi degree written by a student in consultation with a program advising committee of a minimum of three teaching faculty members.

The 40 hours of course work required in the contract major can be taken from two or more departments, or from within the same department where more than one degree is offered. Twenty hours of courses are needed for a contract minor. ''What the contract major/minor allows students to do is to tap into their deep interests and natural talents and think about a W9:Y ~o fiq~ th,ei[, 9WJL•.aj£11.~, in .~~~ j£b market," said Dr. E)eano1 Green. MSC director of Adult Learning Services.

Green administers this unusual option program, whose graduates comprise 7 to 8 percent of Metro's yearly graduates. In 1986-87, 85 students graduated with a contract major or minor. Currently, there are about 230 students enrWlriQ.. in the program.

Green said the program is suited for students who tend to be very self-directed and know what they want. Many of those in

the program are transfer students, she added.

"This means that by the time they graduate, instead of having 120 hours, they might have 150 or 160 hours," she said.

The contract majorI minor allows students • to avoid this problem by applying previous course work to a restructured degree within 120 hours.

Because the program is a non-traditional option, most students don't seem to relate to it, Green said. The program is promoted • largely by word of mouth, she added.

"The reality is that with 200 students, we don't have enough staff to advertise for more students or market the program."

Green is assisted by Dr. Maureen Lancaster, associate director of Adult Learning Services, and two part-time faculty. • Though the contract major/minor program began as interdisciplinary (between departments), more and more students are contracting for intraclisciplinary (within one department) studies.

Green cited the example of a student with , a contract major titled Music, with a catalog minor in elementary physical education.

The student plans to do private teaching, focusing on choreography for skaters and dancers. In addition, she wants to be an accompanist, Green said.

"We don't have a degree program that ., covers that broad area," Green said. "So the student has selected courses that fit what she plans to do." The music department offers degrees in either music education or music

perfe~l .

. _ Uh!i .J.W .:).110 of the mtr¢isciplinary · contracts, like music, are on the cutting edge of new majors developing. The program can become a way to test out new academic directiom, she added.

"I think higher education is going to go increasingly into non-traditional areas," . .Green concluded.

She Said changes in society and the cost of education are making students much more D pragmatic in their pursuit of degrees.

Skill of the Irish shines

Don't Miss the Academy Awards Aprll 1lth.

Jay Hauptman Reporter

Ireland's three finest collegiate debaters showed with their dominating and quick_,. witted style why they were chosen to represent their country in the 1988 Irish Debate Series.

They were also the center of a cultural exchange between Ireland and the United States that has become an annual tradition over the past nine years.

MSC prof~r Gary Holbrook founded the Irish Debate Series in 1980 and is responsible for organizing the annual event, in which the winners of the Irish Times debating contest are brought to the United States.

Irish team-members Adrian Hunt, Timothy Murphy and Robert PWit, all from the University College Cork, won this year's contest and participated in the three-week tour that began with a debate at Harvard University. >The Irish faced the MSC team of Paul Shea, Kalman "Bullet" Simon and Carl Morrow in the feature debate ofthe series on St. Patrick's Day before about 350 people in Student Center Room 330.

Although the Irish team, ooasidered each If year to be one ofthe best debate teams in the world, won convincingly, the Msc team earned the respect of the lriSb. "Certainly we were cl!aJlengftl," Hunt said.

"It was a much tougher debate than the one we had at Harvard,• ~said; 1 The subject for this JClfi debate wa whether or not the press invades the .,mate lives of public figures. ~ MSC team imerted that the press should respect their private lives.

The MSC team maintained that the world is facing a crisis of losing its leaders because potential candidates are not willing to subject themselves and their families to the scrutiny of today's press.

Shea cited New York Gov. Mario Cuomo as an example. r Cuomo's decision to remove himself from the presidential race resulted from his reluctance to enter the media spotlight, Shea said The MSC team likened the press to a beast with an insatiable appetite for information, which is creating its own food at the J expense of public figures and their families.

We are seeing the leftover husks of the Gary Harts and the Joseph Bidens who have

THREE MEN & A BABY POUND PUPPIES JOHNNY BE GOOD

The lrl1h dab1ter1 are (from left to rlghtl: Tlm..ity Murphy, Robert Pl1nt 1nd Adrian Hunt FOX AND THE HOUND

been sacrificed for the beasts' need for food, Morrow said.

However, what we are not seeing are the families and friends bebihd the scenes who have been hurt by the beast, Morrow said.

In response to these arguments, the Irish team said that it is nccesyry to view certain aspects of a person's private life to evaluate Im character and perf~.

"We cannot make a proper evaluation of a person's potential without looking at their private life," Plant said.

He added that the Gary Hart scandal · showed lack of judgment and selfdiscipline, his unquestionable willingness to lie to the public and his inability to function properly in a crisis situation.

Murphy stresm that the rights of the CIOllUDOll people are more important than tllOle of the llelect few, and the sacrifice of the few for the many is a worthy one.

Runt added that without the presence of the pras, politicians would always present the deaD5t of aelf-images. ""Politicians aren't going to come on television and say, Tm dishonest. I am insincere. I don't give a damn about anybody.

Vote for me,' " Hunt said · "If you believe in democracy, you believe in the people's right to choose,'' Hunt said.

"If you believe in the people's -right to choose, you believe in the riaht to make an informed, respoDSlble, mature choice. "they can only do that if they have all the evidence in front of them."

After the debate, Holbrook asked former Irish team-member Brain Murray to reflect on the importance ofthe debate series. Murray said that the debate was a good example of the differences between the two cultures.

Because Ireland is a small homogenous culture, as opposed to the United States,

which is a large and diverse culture, it is easier to determine what political and legal decisions are good for the public, Murray said.

In addition, the series is important to Ireland because it has fostered some of its finest debaters, he said.

The series also helps to dispel the innaccurate perceptions of Ireland and its people, he said While Murray admitted that there is some truth to the perception of Ireland as having a violent society with a divisive religious war, and having "wee" people who drink a lot, neither of those images is accurate for most of Ireland's population.

Everyone agreed that the debate was successful in educating the audience while at the same time providing fun for all those D involved.

Have you ever dreamed of raising millions of dollars to help museums, orchestras and hospitals meet their annual budgets?

Well, MSC's Community Services Development program can teach you how to do it in two semesters.

"The program prepares people to organiu, develop and administrate all types of nonprofit organizations," said program director Roger Kahn of the 13-year-old curriculum.

"It is the single most developed program of its kind in the country at either the undergraduate or graduate level."

There are 27 students currently in the program. The average age is 36, and onethird of them have undergraduate degrees.

Of-those, one-half have graduate degrees.

Students must take five classes each semester. Those classes include fund raising, accounting, career planning, conflict resolution and volunteer management.

The classes are taught by senior practicing officials of non-profit organizations, Kahn said.

"Other than our students, the faculty is our most valuable resource," he said. Both what and who the faculty know are important to the students, he added.

Guest speakers for Kahn's c~ "Politics of Agency Survival," include Dick Fleming of the Denver Chamber of Commerce and Diana Boulter of the Denver Partnership.

Most of the program's graduates are in the Denver area, Kahn said. Among them are Kelly McGee with the Boys Club of Colorado and Luauna Welsch of the Coors Foundation.

"Any student that's interested in a profession can combine with our program to learn administration," Kahn said He cited examples of recreation, arts and social science majors enrolled in the program. Students can also write a contract major in the program.

To get started in the program, students must attend an orientation session. Two orientations are scheduled for April 13 and May 5. Call Mavis Knopp at 556-3267 for more information.

Doughnuts, ·bowling salvage convention And typesetter Jill Ranaudo won a second-place award in the live layout competition (newspapers, not suntanning).

Ranaudo was equally amazed to hear her name called.

"I couldn't believe it, but it was good to hear MSC's name called after not hearing it too often Friday night," she said, referring to the previous night's virtual shutout.

Eric Mees

Assistant Editor

Spring break has come and gone once again without any of us at The Metropolitan being jailed on South Padre Island or terminally bung over in San Diego. ., We spent part ofour vacation in Gunnison.

Gunnison, you say? Well, if_you must know, we were there for the Rocky Mountain Collegiate Press Association (RMCPA) convention/competition at W ~m State College March 17-19.

The RMCPA is an association of 38 schools from Colorado, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona and Wyoming. Each year, school newspapers, radio and television stations, literary magazines, and yearbooks send their best work to be judged in many different categories. Also, attending schools " compete in live exercises and attend seminars over the course of the weekend.

How did Thi! Met do? Let's say the trip had its highs and lows.

The highs: ~te editor Robert Ritter won first :.. place in the Division IA live newswriting competition. His story was a report of a mock election press conference.

"I was, to say the least, extremely surprised," Ritter said of bis award. "I was twittered."

Extremely surprised is an understatement Rather, try to imagine walking into a class you haven't attended all semester, only to find a SO-question essay test in front of you - that's bow surprised he looked (only happier). ~

And we don't have any drunken tales to regale next year's staff.

One thing we did learn at the convention is the only thing worse than local TV news is college students imitating local TV news.

Actually, the winners weren't too bad they just screamed too loud when they won.

(I think the awards were mostly for the sincerest-looking smile and judicious use of hairspray.)

Probably the worst thing for us was the realization that some or our entries (about

two-thirds) may not have been received and hence never judged in the competition. The feeling of not knowing bow good or bad you are can be worse than the truth. Until we hear differently, some of us are just going to say that UFOs snatched all our good stuff to display on another planet as examples of superior journalism.

All in all, it was a great way to start our vacation. Thanks and congrats to everyone who's had his/her hand in the cookiejar that is Thi! Met. D

----SPORTS Rams teach 'Runners ~hard softball lesson T. J. Hutchinson Reporter A return to classes for the MSC women's softball team meant a real schooling from the Colorado State University Rams as they swept a doubleheader from the Roadrunners 7-2 and 6-1 on March 29.

Coach Joan Tamblin said the Division I Rams are the toughest competition Metro, a Division II team, will face.

"We faced some tough pitching, and they had ar.f extremely good outfield," Tamblin said.

The CSU pitchers shut down the Metro batters, yielding only three hits in the first game and four in the second.

Freshman shortstop Nancy Kogle's triple and single were two of Metro's three hits in 23 at bats.

On the mound, Brenda Losinski continued her losing streak with her fourth loss in a row. She gave up three runs in the first inning on back-to-back home runs and a triple.

CSU scored four more runs in the second inning to take a 7-1 lead. Losinski settled down and held the Rams scoreless the rest of the way.

"She's been throwing very well," Tamblin said "She had one tough inning, but after

that they didn't touch her."

Losinski, who started the year with six straight wins, leads the staff with a 7-5 record.

The Ram pitchers were equally strong in the second game, giving up four singles, three to Patty Padilla and one to Kogle.

Their offensive started quick again with two home runs, good for a 3-0 lead after two innings. They pushed their lead to 6-0 at the end of the fifth inning.

Pitcher Julie Kollman scored the Roadrunners' lone run in the seventh inning on Padilla's third single.

Kollman went the distance, giving up six runs on six hits to even her record at 3-3.

Metro will host Southern Utah for doubleheaders on April 1 and 2. The first games are scheduled to start at 1 p.m. and the nightcaps for 3 p.m. The Roadrunners will travel to Golden April 6 for a doubleheader against the Colorado School of Mines starting at 3 p.m.

Tamblin said she hopes the Roadrunners improve on their 2-8 record against Southern Utah last year.

"We're looking hopefully to take three out of four. We have to play well to do that.

They're a good team, but we can do it," Tamblin said. "Last year we lost, but we're a D better team than last year."

Errors trip Roadrunners ~

down California road Robert Ritter Associate Editor

'

•

\

,..,.

Coach Bill Helman thought he made an error scheduling his MSC baseball team for seven games in five days during its spring break road trip to California.

But the Roadrunners' fielding errors were more costly as they returned home with three wins and four losses to push theii record to 11-7 overall.

"Before I left I'd have said, 'Yeah, I'd be happy with (a 3-4 finish).' I was afraid I had overscheduled," Helman said. "But then after we played, 4-3 should have been and 5-2 could have been."

The Roadrunners committed 17 errors during the trip, and four errors in a 19-15 loss to Cal-State Northridge probably~ them the game, according to Helman.

"I'd have~ there were at least a half dozen errors. I'm sure there should have been some put down as errors that were marked hits. We were letting balls go through our legs," he said.

Helman attnbuted the sloppy play to a lack of outdoor practices.

"The one area we're behind on is defense.

You're limited very much on what you can do indoors. We've never been outside for a long stretch yet."

The Roadrunners started the trip on a down note, losing the first game 5-0 to Willamette (Ore.) University on March 22.

First baseman Torin Berge, who Helman

• New Interactive Dialing Method • All Phone Numbers • New Ads Daily • Call Anytime Private Numbers Furnished to Lldlea by Request

said hits best against tough pitching, rapped two doubles and a single for three of Metro's five hits.

Later that day, the Roadrunners dropped their second game, a 15-2 rout at the hands of Long Beach State. Berge, who leads the team with a .433 batting average, and Erik Vessey both singled twice.

The next day proved kinder as-Metro won twice, including a 7-4 victory over Occidental (Calif.) College and a 3-2 win over Long Beach State.

Rusty Miller and Tom Pletzke each hit three singles against Occidental and Pletzke added a double and single in the Long Beach game.

On Saturday, the Roadrunners split a doubleheader with Claremont (Calif.) College, losing the first game 8-7, but coming back to win the nightcap 12-3. The win ended the trip on a high note as Metro showed its offensive power with a six-run rally in the seventh to tum a 3-0 deficit into a 6-3 lead.

That offensive flash is what has led Metro to several wins and kept the Roadrunners in many games, Helman said.

"Before the season I said we'd be down in power, but we've been hitting a lot of home runs."

The Roadrunners will host the Colorado School of Mines for an April I doubleheader starting at 1 p.m. They then travel to Golden to face the Orediggers for another I p.m. doubleheader. o

April Fool's Edition

Presidency .. . repairs·a broken Harl "T-Bone" Mees

Arrowhead Wire Services

In a move that caught everyone off guard, the MSC presidential search committee selected former U.S. presidential candidate S.. Gary Hart as the new commander-in-chief.

"I can't believe it; no one can," said "Wild Bill" Fulkerson, current MSC interim president "I guess this means I'll have to go back to Alamosa."

The search committee met for four months _• reviewing more than 100 applicants to decide who would best fill the position left

by Paul Magelli's departure in April 1987.

Hart's selection came as a great surprise to many, even Hart.

"I can't believe it myself. I didn't even - plan to run until I realized I wouldn't get the • Democratic vote in the primaries," Hart said in an impromptu inaugural speech on the Student Center cafeteria dias.

"All that I can say is, 'I won't cheat on you.'"

But Ed McMahon, chairman of the search -~ committee, said he wasn't surprised with the vote.

"Yeah, Fulkerson was the front-runner, but when we saw Gary's name on an application, we figured, 'Hey, what the hell,'" McMahon said And, according to Hart, MSC wasn't the only institution to seek out his talent.

"Just the other day, I got a call from Kinney's Shoes. They wanted me to run a couple of stores out in Limon. rm just glad I didn't commit."

So the long search for a permanent president is over. It still remains to be seen, though, how Hart and newly hired provost and vice-president Donna Rice will do.

"I can do the job. Just give me a chance; that's all I've ever asked for. If you don't • believe me, just follow me for a while." o

Cold Kentucky cash claims campus Jim Rltta Meese Metropolitan wire services

The Auraria Higher &lucation Center has been sold to a group of Kentucky tourists for $33 million effective immediately.

"We're very glad these fellows decided to make the purchase," said AHEC real estate director Smith Morgansen. "They were in town two months ago for the Stock Show and decided they couldn't pass it up. We were very shocked. We thought they had spent all their money on a bunch of those John Deere tractors and rodeo tickets."

Although no official plans have been drawn up, it is hoped that the new owners will not change current policies.

"The only reason we even accepted was because they said they wouldn't change anything. Well, that and the fact that they had cold, bard cash," Morgansen confessed.

Chester "Duane" Thompson, head of the LBWCAU (Let's Buy the World's Colleges and Universities), said the group's only major changes for the Auraria campus would be to turn the shantytown into dormitories.

"We've got to have some place to stay when we come to visit and that dorm food is s0 damn tasty," he said Newly-selected MSC President Gary Hart (see related story, pg. l)~d be was glad to see the changes.

': .. Donna said

they were going to give me a raise.,,

-Gary Harl

"I don't really know what this is going to mean to the school, but (provost and vicepresident) Donna (Rice) said they were going to give me a raise," Hart said. "Just think, a raise. I just got here, too. I think I'm gonna be real happy to have these fellas around."

Dave Bob, another member of the group, expressed surprise at the move.

"I don't know, dude. I just got the money

from my dad and I wanted to buy the Kan-

sas City Chiefs," Bob said. "But I guess now we can have Lisa Lisaand the Cult Jam play at the Mission. And I suppose I can get a degree for free. Dude, that rhymes. Maybe I'll major in poetry."

Thompson said the only other change he would consider (besides merging the schools and changing the name to the University of Kentucky at Downtown Denver) would be to ditch the newly-installed Reflecto-Glo Batman clocks on the Ollie North Building.

"We ain't too fond of those clocks. Gary don't like 'em either so I figure we can put up pictures of Artis Gilmore and Colonel Sanders.''

Dan Becker, spokesman for the MSC student government, said, "We've always wanted to effect change and I've always wanted to use the word 'effect' in that way."

Becker's best friend, Norton Martin, agreed.

"The students of this campus had a say in this transaction. Why, just the other day I heard one of my constituents say she was going to the Kentucky Derby, a clear mandate for a purchase of this type." o
