When King Tut's tomb was discovered in 1922 by Egyptologist Howard Carter, he described its contents as "wonderful things." Community College of D~nver student Tracy Heyser's enchantment with Egypt has resulted in a wonderful thing for her. Heyser won a $1,500 scholarship Feb. 26 by designing a poster representing the exhibit. The exhibit ended its 5~ month stay at the Denver Museum of Natural History March 31. The scholarship was the first-place prize in a contest sponsored by Coors Light. The museum will sell 2,000 copies of the poster at $2 each, with the proceeds benefiting the museum. The posters should be available April 11, a Coors spokesman said Heyser's design features a portrait of Ramses framed along the poster's border with a custom-designed alphabet. The alphabet uses Egyptian figures and symbols to form English letters. For example, the letter "C" is formed by an Egyptian bracelet adorned with lapis lazuli stones. Heyser's familjarity with Egypt in the time of the Pharaohs was)ief inspiration to create the alphabet. She first experienced Egyptian culture in a museum, and it made a lasting impr~ion. "It really struck me. I wonder if I was reincarnated, maybe I came from there," she joked. The Long Island, N.Y., native owns about a dOWl books

on Egypt and attended the Ramses exhibit soon after it opened. ' She called it a good exhibit, but said she has seen similar things exhibited in New York in the Egyptian section of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a place she has visited often. She said she could never quite make it out of that section to get to the rest of the museum. But while she may have spent a lot of time there, it didn't stop her from gettin an associate's d ee in fine arts from

Suffolk Community College in New York in 1976. Now Heyser has returned to college to get a degree in commercial art. Winning the poster contest has given her a boost of confidence about changing her career. Heyser's confidence was also boosted by her teachers. They offered her both encouragement and suggestions on her design. "My teachers are wonderful." 0

John Gegner Reporter MSC's Cycling Club plans to kick-off the 1988 cycling season by staging a college criterium race at downtown Denver Civic Center Park on April 10. The first race of the MSC Cycling Club Civic Center Criterium will begin at 9 a.m., according to Robin Hamm, MSC Cycling Club race coordinator. The criterium, a short-course bicycle race of multiple laps, will circuit the roads around Civic Center Park. The event's four races will range from 25 to 40 laps around the .62 mile course. Hamm, an MSC freshman political science major, said schools scheduled to compete in the event are: University of ColoradoBoulder, Colorado School of Mines, Colorado College, Colorado State University, Air Force Academy, University of Wyoming, Western State College, University of Northern Colorado, University of Denver, University of Southern Colorado and Regis College. The MSC Cycling Club, funded by the Club Affairs Committee through student fees, was formed in September 1987 by cycling enthusiasts and now has about 40 members. The club is open to MSC, CU-

Denver and CCD students and faculty, with only Metro students eligible to hold ~. Oub President Terry Trieu, a junior meteorology major, said be wants to dispel the notion that the club is only for competitive racers. Hamm added that "anybody can join, whether they just want to ride or want to get involved in the structure." Hamm said she hopes th,e club, still in its infancy, will serve as an umbrella organization for a racing team, a touring group and a mountain bike club. The enthilsiastic race coordinator has been involved with cycling since the 1986 World Cycling Championships in Colorado Springs when she served as~ welcoming and showing international cyclists around town. Since 1987, she has served as an ambassador for the Olympic committee, performing similar welcoming and shuttlin functions. The April 10 event will ofl'e~Men's A, Men's B, Women's and Citii.ens' races. Those interested in joining the club or getting additional information about the can contact Trieu at 556-3236 or Hamm a 556-3321. Volunteer course marshals emergency medical technicians are n for the race.

------NEWS-----. Traffic snarls: the worst is yet to come Kristin Hager Reporter Demolition of the Lawrence Street viaduct, which will · begin within two weeks, could mean even more headaches for Auraria student$ with all downtown traffic snaking through campus and further congesting Colfax. Demolition is scheduled to begin April 16, barring poor weather conditions or other delays, according to Bob ..._ Dorroh, chief transportation design engineer for Denver Transportation. "We had originally planned on beginning (April 9), but we had to push it back a week because of weather problems," Dorroh said. "Tentatively, we're going with the 16th, but that's not to say that a snowstorm could not push it back another week." However, once demolition does begin, downtown traffic will be rerouted through campus, directly affecting Seventh and Larimer streets. Inbound traffic will take the Walnut Street viaduct to Seventh, which will be one-way southbound for one block to Larimer. The west end of Larimer will be paved into a ~ one-way between Seventh and Eighth, then a two-way to Ninth, where traffic will turn past the Student Center and continue into downtown on Lawrence Street. _,

Downtown traffic wlll be rerouted through campus beginning Aprll 16 with the commencement of the Lawrence Street Viaduct demolltlon.

The rerouting, although temporary, will continue throughout the summer until the planned Auraria Parkway is completed in the early fall. Mark Gallagher, assistant director of parking for Auraria, said that the new traffic situation will affect students attempting to park in northwestern campus lots. "Students who park in lots C, D or E will have to be moving southbound on Seventh to enter the lots. Unless they normally exit 1-25 northbound, the best way is to come north on Eighth and go around the service road beyqnd Walnut and then come back down south on Seventh," Gallagher said. Gallagher also said that traffic will begin to pick up on Colfax. . "Once people get used to the Lawren~ closure, many vehicles will start to take the Colfax route downtown also." He said .that no concrete dates have been set for the completion of the Auraria Parkway, but that Auraria has been assured things will be "back to normal" by late August. Dorroh said construction is scheduled to begin in early May. The Auraria Parkway will run around the nort~ perimeter of the campus, connecting 1-25 and Speer, enabling Auraria to shut traffic off from Speer to Ninth on both Lawrence and Larimer streets.

Police recovery rate helps foil bike thieves Lance Wllllamson Reporter It's every bicycle commuter's nightmare (a.k.a. the Pee Wee Herman Syndrome). Y.ou walk out of class and can't find your bike. First comes a quick reaction of denial. This isn't really where it was parked. Then you feel your heart sink as reality sets in. This is where you left it Your bike has been stolen. Many bike riders have run this or a similar scenario through their minds or actually lived it. It's a fact of campus life. Bicycles are stolen. "As long as there's such a great-concentration of bicycles in one place, some are

going to be stolen," said Steve Laurita, a detective for the Denver Police Department's Bicycle Bureau. "It's almost like shopping. Thieves look through the (bicycle) racks for a specific bike they want." And on the Auraria campus, thieves have found bikes they want. "In a bad week, we can lose five, usually in the spring or summer when usage is high," said Lolly Ferguson, services manager for the Auraria Public Safety department. "But we've lost as little as one a month during spring or winter months." When a stolen bike is reported to Public Safety, a report is also sent to Laurita's department "When a file comes in, we enter the per-

Direction, efficiency purpose of student senate survey JoAnn Tenebra Reporter

{

The MSC student senate wants to know how it can be more effective and have a more focused direction in helping students at MSC. It is presently circulating a survey to help that process. The survey, comprised of 20 questions, deals with topics such as student representation in the state Capito~ the expected I~ of half of the present campus parking over the next five years and how effectively students feel they are being represented by the student government. The student senate will survey 700 students in randomly chosen classrooms. Martin Norton, student government president, estimates that each student taking the survey represents 200 students. "We're having a hard time getting peoQle (students) to participate," Norton said. "Overall, the faculty was responding very well to allowing the survey to be taken in

their classrooms." Norton said only a small number of teachers refused to allow the survey, saying it would be an infringement on class time. Thesurvey., will bdp the yet-to-be-de:ded student body president to better understand the students being represented. "Hopefully, students taking the survey will question the candidates based on some of the topics covered in the survey," Norton said. "Knowing where the candidates stand is a vital part of the election. This survey at least will let the student senate know where the students stand." Generating interest in the student government is a major part of the survey. However, interest alone will not help. Students must become involved as well, he said. "A large number of students are not interested or involv~" Norton said. Norton ho~ the survey will change that. With that in mind, the student senate plans to have the survey and its results published in The Metropolitan by April 15. D

son's name, bike serial number and license registration number into the Colorado Crime Information Center (CCIC) and the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) computers," Laurita said. "Then, any time a , bike is picked up or checked, in-state or out, the officer checks the computers to see if it is listed as stolen." This process has been very successful in recovering stolen·bikes. "In 1987, 1,021 bicycles were reported stolen to us," Laurita said. "We recovered 251 - about 25 percent. That's extremely good."

The recovery ratio is much higher for bicycles registered with the bureau. "We got back almost - not quite, but almost - every bike stolen last year that the owner had registered with us," he said. "Because of the different categories stolen bicycles fall into, the records don't give an exact recovery percentage for licensed bikes, but it's at least 75 percent, and very probably much higher," Laurita said. The licensing process has proven extremely succes.mtl in the aid to recover stolen bikes. However, the pr~ was discontinued Feb. 15. "The City Council couldn't see the feasi-

bility of continuing the program, financially," Laurita said. "It cost only $2 per year to register a bike, but only 13,000 people registered their bike in 198 7 .... We estimate there are well over 200,000 bikes in Denver. It doesn't take an expert to figure we can't operate on those kinds of numbers. And it's too bad. The people lost a good thing. The statistics tell the story of how good the r~ overy rate is." So what exactly does the bicycle commuter do to reduce the possibility of having his or her bike stolen? Both Laurita and Ferguson gave the same first answer - buy a U-shaped kryptonite lock. · "For about $25, this type oflock is by far the most invincible way to secure a bike," Ferguson said. "Very rarely is a bike stolen that has been correctly locked with one of these. Almost never." Ferguson elaborated on a "correctly locked" bike. "Use the bike racks, and use them the way they are designed to be used. These racks are there for a reason. Don't use trees, railings or whatever else."

Computer 'speaks' to blind man Diane Gemma Reporter

Tall, brown haired, balding, wearing jeans and cowboy boots; 31-year-old MSC student Joe Lamars will never see this article. He's blind Lamars, whose walking stick lies discreetly under his chair, his elbows resting comfortably on his knees, has been blind since birth. The 1980 University of Denver business school graduate said he didn't like where his life was going when he worked for a mortgage company designing computer programs. It was then he realized he wasn't satisfied. "One day during lunch I ·was walking down the bike path, and there were some kids sitting there and some ducks quacking and the kids were quacking back," he paused, smiling. "And I said, 'What am I doing here? This is no way to live.' " So he decided to make a change and came to Metro in 1984. He said he didn't feel the need to declare a major, but wanted to increase his computer skills. In the process of discovering classes, Lamars met Mel Langshaw, director of the Academic Computing Center. Langshaw, according to Lamars, was excited about helping students, and as a result made Lamars' transition into a new aspect of the computer world easier.

"He never said, 'There's a blind person, we're going to do something wonderful for him.' Instead, they (in the computer office) just say, 'There's a student with a need and serving students is what we do.' " Lamars and Langshaw have worked together getting some very useful computers out of storage: they talk. "We bought a Dec-Talks a few years ago," Langshaw said. "But there wasn't a demand for them. I just remembered we had them. It's kinda neat, isn't it?" The computer Lamars uses is in WC 247. It has six different simulated voices of both men and women, just in case he gets bored. He uses the computers for course work and programming. He said he's excited about its possibilities and its conveniences. "I don't want to pay somebody to sit here and read this to me," he said. ''There's all this technology for disabled people, and it's opened a lot ofdoors. I have some experience and knowledge and desire to learn about this and the machine is a means of accomplishing a goal" He said he found one of the worst stereotypes about disabled people is that they are supposedly so grateful for a job that employers and agencies think they'll never quit and they'll never complain. For Lamars, that was definitely not the case. He said he realii.ed that if you let people treat you in a condescending manner, they will.

Last

"It's a lot harder to have a self-respect when people do that to you," be said. . Lamars said that for so long the emphasis on disabled people has been what they couldn't do. He feels now is the time to change this misconception for himself and to do some exploring. "What I am going on is a· big, long adventure of being a human being. The big move for me was to find out it was OK to explore. For such a long time, I did it all by the book." He said even though be was not ashamed of being blind, it was difficult to see himself as a full-fledged human being. He said he tried fighting acceptance of his blindness for a long time. "I got - fairly early on - that being blind wasn't something to be ashamed of, but it also took me a long time to say, 'So what?' I went through this stage where I was saying, 'I'll do this alone, period.' It was a lot harder. It's like saying I hated gravity, and evt'.ry day I would try to fight it. ''The other day, for instance, when I got on the bus, I almost sat on a couple of people. They survived, and so did I. But at one time in my life I would have beat myself up for that." He said one of his favorite quotes is from a song by Frank Zappa that says, "You are what you is and you ain't what you ain't." He feels he's on the right track for living a liappy life.

In other parking developments, the second part of a two-part series on future parking needs has been completed by consulting firm BRW Inc. and has been distnbuted to parking and transportation officials, as well as to the Auraria Board. Recommendations include two new parking structures at an average height of four floors, the lease and/ or purchase of land directly surrounding campus and the restriping of existing lots designed to add 10 to 12 spaces per lot per lot.

According to Randy Ready, director of Parking and Transportation Services at Auraria, a needs assessment committee representing MSC, CU-Denver and CCD students, faculty and staff will be meeting within the month to evaluate the recommendations.

As a last bit of advice, Ferguson stressed the need for more public awareness and attention. "Almost every bike stolen on campus is stolen during the day, during classes," Ferguson said. "People just need to glance at the bike rackS as they walk by them. If they see something or someone that looks suspicious, call us. "There is no law against being snoopy," Ferguson said. "Look and make sure a person is unlocking a bike, not stealing it." Ferguson said a suspicious person or situation can be reported to the nonemergency number at Public Safety at 5563271.

In securing your bike in the racks, Ferguson also suggested the use of good cables, chains or locks if you don't have the kryptonite lock. "If you have a good, thick, strong cable or chain, don't secure it with a cheap lock that can be cut in seconds," Laurita said. "And vice versa. Don't use a cheap cable or chain with a good lock." Laurita str~ that all locks used should be case hardened. "It would take a torch a good while to cut through one of those," he said. "And most bike thieves don't carry torches around." "And for gosh sakes, lock your bike every time you are not sitting on it," Laurita said. "Even if it is within eyesight It only takes one second for someone tojump on and start prna!ing."

Teacher translates events into classroom experience Victoria Fitzpatrick Reporter

The old saying, "Those who can't do, teach," doesn't apply to Rhoda Miller, a part-time French professor at MSC and a contract interpreter for the U.S. Department of State. · "As a simultaneous interpreter, I do seminars on a whole range of subjects. Some of these programs are funded by the (U.S. Information Agency) and they are cultural, professional exchange programs," said Miller, who has contracted with the State Department for 10 years. Simultaneous interpretation is the changing of someone's spoken words while the person is speaking, whereas consecutive interpretation is done afterwards. So the speaker is not distracted, the interpretation is conducted through a microphone and earpieces. Miller said her work outside of school helps her teaching. "I think I've been on the front line of French. I think I've taken it just as far as you can take it as a foreigner learning a foreign language," the Philadelphia native said. She studied in Dijon, France, on a Fulbright scholarship in 1962-1%3. Miller began her career as an interpreter - one who changes spoken language-and a translator - one who changes written language - in 1974 with Africare, a multiracial private organization started in 1971 to help the victims of the drought in West

Africa. They have since expanded and started long-term economic development programs. Miller's first trip was to Niger. "I went to Africa with (Africare) several times. They had a planning team with six or seven different specialists on it and I was their translator and interpreter," she said She resigned after her job became too bureaucratic. She enjoys contracting with the State Department because she likes both the people and the work. "I just finished a brief assignment over spring break with some African journalists who were here to study elections," she said. On the assignment, she worked in Austin and Houston, Texas. The foreigners discussed the role of the press with several journalists and a television program director. As part of this discussion, the Africans viewed a videotape of Dan Rather's controversial interview of presidential candidate George Bush. In that interview, Rather asked Bush about his role in the Iran-contra affair, and Bush refused to answer. As the debate heated, Bush asked Rather if he would like his whole career judged by Rather's walkout in Miami, which had resulted in six minutes of a blank screen for CBS. . Miller had to interpret the exchange for the visitors. It was very hard, she said, because the two talked so quickly. The Africans told Miller they do not believe that journalists havel he right to

question or pry into matters of state, she said. "People with one-party systems have trouble with the watchdog role of the press because that's not the way it's done," she said. In Africa the press is censored, she said. "I've worked with people from just about every French-speaking African country," she said. She enjoys meeting and talking with people from the Third World. But her experience is not limited to Third World countries. Last year, she traveled to California and Washington, D.C. with a group of French

uses equipment more sophisticated than a swine with two woofers. MSC's equipment was donated to the electrical engineering technology department in 1972. "With our equipment, we have talked virtually all over the world: Asia, Europe, Japan, Russia, Bulgaria and Australia. One of the more interesting contacts was two years ago, when we talked to a Russian station in Antarctica," said Larry Keating, chairman of the electronics department and faculty adviser for the Ham Radio Club. "And there wasn't a language barrier because most hams (ham radio operators) in other countries speak English." The club's membership this semester is oomprised of about 25 MSC students, most of whom are majoring in electronics and are already licensed ham radio operators. Members decide how social and how active the club will be. If they want to create a class to help people get their license, then that's what they do. If they want to be socially active and attend conferences and competitions, then they do. "The idea of the club is educational, but it's also recreational," Keating said. "Officially, only MSC students can become members, but we welcome an·d encourage UCO and CCD students to use the equipment as well." Appointments can be made to use the equipment by contacting the electronics department in S0213. The club provides an opportunity for students to use the MSC ham radio equipment because, according to Keating, many students can't afford their own equipment, or they live in apartments and have no place to put up an antenna. The cost of ham radio equipment can be anywhere from $750 to $2,000 and, electronically speaking, it is similar to citil.Cns band equipment, only larger and more sophisticated with higher wattage capabilities. Keating said ham radio operators are not ~ted with the CB operators, a distinction made bCcause "hams" must pass a Federal Communication Commission (FCC) test, which involves learning basic theory of electronics, rules and regulations of the frequencies, and the Morse code. CB operators don't have to ~ a test, which also tends to make the ham radio operators more serious about their hobby. "Another distinction is that the FCC considers ham radio a major source of worldwide communication," Keating said. · Ham radio also bas specific communication capabilities that are used frequently during such natural disasters as floods, hurricanes and earthquakes: "For example, during the earthquakes some years ago in Alaska, the only communication they bad with the rest of the world was through ham radio for a couple of days," Keating said

But the more general use of ham radio is for public service and hol:>by, and the use of ham radio for a commercial transaction is illegal, Keating said "People can send messages around the world, and that's especially important in third-world nations where the telephone systems are not as developed and getting calls in and out are extremely challenging." Short-wave or amateur radio - other names for ham radio - doesn't use broadcast frequencies like TV and commercial radio do. It uses much higher frequencies that bounce signals off the ionosphere, enabling the ham radio to reach virtually anywhere in t~e world. The ionosphere is a layer of electrical charges that begins 50 miles above the earth's surface and extends upward about 200 miles and varies in thickness and density from day to day. At night the cloudlike ion layer moves up and down and becomes denser, enabling signals to reach further. "Many people have ham radio units in their cars so they can talk to the world while driving to work," Keating said. He said there are many reasons why people become ham radio operators. Some just like to talk to other people around the world, around the country or around the city. "Some people are in it just because they can talk to their family or friends for as long as they like in another part of the world without an enormous phone bil~" Keating said. Some like the technical aspects of it. "Th'at's how I got into it. I got into it in junior high school because I was interested in electronics and the technical aspects of it, like what the equipment does and how it performs."

Turnout for first day of MSC electlona wu dlnppolntlng. And then other people are in it for the contests. "There are all kinds of contests yearround, like how many people can you contact, awards for contacting 100 or more countries, awards for contacting all 50 states, awards for contacting all the countries, contests for everything imaginable," he said. Ham radio operators are also an interesting group of people, Keating said. They are from all social and economical experiences and about the only thing they have in common is that they are very social people who like ham radio communication. "They are people who could barely afford the radio to people like Senator Barry Goldwater, who is a very active ham radio operator. Many are wealthy, important and well-educated, but there are also many bluecollar workers, even people who can't read. But when these people get together for the local and national ham radio conferences, there is no· longer a social barrier, but a shared enthusiam and a fascinating conglomeration of people," Keating said Ham radio bas existed since the begjnning of broadcast radio in the early 1900s.

ham radio was mostly developed by electronic amateurs, which is why ham radio is also called amateur radio. "Ham radio has been around so long that nobody knows why it was called ham radio or what ham radio means," Keating said. In the early days, ham radio operators used Morse code to communicate. Today the microphone (voice) is widely used. But under severe communication conditions like crowded airways or strong static electricity, Morse code works best. Keating said ham radio operators are not assigned one frequency; rather, they have an infinite range of frequencies, making communication possibilities limitless, which bas tailored ham readio into a world-wide como munication link.

ponders cable channels, child care questions

Chad Morris Reporter Imagine dropping by a student lounge and catching an inning or two of the World Series on ESPN. Or how about leaving your child at the Student Center Child Care Center while you attend that one class you have on Tuesdays? These were two ideas presented to the Student Center Advisory Board (SCAB) at its April 5 meeting. SCAB is a tri-institutional committee that reviews policies and procedures for the Student Center. Any SCAB decision must go before the Student Facilities Policy Council (SFPC) for approval. · Muriel Woods, assistant director of the Auraria Media Center, explained to the board that bringing cable onto campus is paable, and show she now wants to know what

channels students are interested in having. While most of what Mile-Hi Cablevision offers would be available, premium channels like Home Box Office and Showtime would not, she said. However, this idea is not something that will be implemented any time soon. The board still needs to study what channels are available and whether one subscription or multiple subscriptions would best serve student needs. If the Media Center took out one subscription, all the televisions on campus hooked into the system would be on the same channel all the time. A multiple subscription would allow different TVs to be on different channels. The board also reviewed an idea to place child care facilities in the Student Center. Donna Chitwood, director of the Auraria Child Care Center, told the board that the

center now operates at full capacity, with a waiting list of aproximately 700 people. However, the center only provides services for those who need half- or full-day child care. Students, faculty or staff who are on campus for less than half a day, who have children and who need only partial care are not having their needs met, she said. "There is an incredible un-met need on campus," Chitwood said. During final exam week last fall, the Child Care Center used a room in the Student Center Annex for "drop-in" child care, where the staff took care of children whose parents were taking finals. What Chitwood would like to do is provide that service year-round using a room in the Student Center. The drop-in program would be designed for those people who are not on campus more than three hours a day.

Gary McManus, director of the Student Center, suggested using one of the rooms next to the game room on the second floor of the Student Center. With modifications for facilities such as restrooms, the space would meet the State Department of Social Services' requirements for child care facilities. SCAB Chairman Dan Becker suggested building an addition to the existing Child Care Center. He said it would probably be cheaper and more accessible than the Student Center. Another possiblity is leasing space near campus for the drop-in service, Chitwood said. The board decided to wait until more information, such as construction costs, is known before making any further decisions. 0

Committee narrows list for new school president Rita McGowan Reporter MSC got closer to hiring a new president when the search committee narrowed the field of candidates from 20 to 10. An eight-member search committee, which has been meeting since September, met April I in the St. Francis Center to narrow the search, according to Dick Feuerborn, director of Campus Recreation and chair of the Institutional Advisory Committee. "The timing is good right now," Feuerborn said. This is the time of year when other presidents are looking and have not yet

signed a contract" When asked if he thought MSC would have a president by fall semester, he said, "I think it will be a lot quicker than that possibly by July, but I'm being extremely optimistic." Feuerborn explained that 10 of the candidates were recommended by Korn-Ferr International, an executive search firm, at the cost of more than $20,000. Another committee member, Dr. George Becker, chair of the biology department, pointed out that the search is a long-term, time-consuming process. He said the committee is being careful to hire someone who

will stay for at least two to three years. ''Two to three years is reasonable," Becker said. "No upward-bound administrator will make a commitment for more than three years. . "Hiring an administrator is kinda like getting married. No matter how well they do in the interview, you still don't always know what you're getting." Becker declined to speculate as to when a president might be found. "But, the committee meetings have been proceeding very smoothly and we have worked very well with the Trustees (MSC governing board)," Becker added.

Greg Pearson, chair of the journalism department and a committee member during the search for former President Paul Magelli, added: "We have a moral obligation to inform the finalists of exactly what they're getting into when they take the job." • Pearson said the finalist ~hould be aware that he or she will not be in charge of Metro State, but will serve as a handmaiden to the Trustees and to Houston Elam, the president of the Consortium of State Colleges. "Under the circumstances, I don't know why anyone would want the job," Pearson said. o

!""

•

I am currentlyastudentatMSCand I would like to express concern over the proposed referendum question which deals with CoPIRG. It is my feeling that this question is unfair. The student body held a referendum last spring in which the majority of students voted to establish a CoPIRG chapter on campus. It was also agreed that the chapter would be funded by a waivable fee system. This decision by the students needs to be respected. CoPIRG has not even had the chance to establish a chapter on campus. The students do have the right to reevaluate their decision; however, this should be done after first experiencing how the decision is working. I also feel that the process in which the question has been presented is unfair. The purppse of a referendum is to make an educated decision on an issue. The students have received no information whatsoever about CoPIRG except one biased news article in The Metropolitan three days before the election.

Lastly, I feel that the question itself is biased. The statement that the proposed fee is " ... more responsive to students' right ..." is a point of debate. Clearly this type of campaigning has no place in a referendum question. The question should be neutral and allow for the voter to make the decision. For these reasons I request that the question dealing with CoPIRG be pulled from the ballot. If students wish to deal with the issue after having experienced CoPIRG on the campus, then that is thetime at which a referendum should be held. It is a great disservice to the students to deal with this issue in this manner. Thank you for your attention on this matter. Ralpho. Hagan Metro student Cartoon by Joey Manfre

Writer clarifies funding article

To the Editor: I am writing concerning the March 18 article regarding Associated Students of CU-Denver's (ASCU-Denver) reaction to the budget pro~osal of the Campus Recreation program. The article " CUDenver Balks at the Cost of Recreation" insinuates that ASCU-Denver does not want to fund the program. Thisassumptionissimplynottrue! Atthispoint, ASCU-Denver's Finance Board has not come to a decision on how much they are going to fund any organization. The meeting Victoria Fitzpatrick, writer of the article, sat in on was only a question-andanswer session regarding the budget proposal and did not entail any decision on funding. Actually, ASCU-Denver is very supportive offunding this program, but the program's budget proposal comprises approximately 42 percent of ASCUDenver's to!al activity budget for fiscal year 1989. Therefore, fully funding this program would require cutting other activity services.to CU-Denver students.

Furthermore, the programs budget is based on percentage usage, which happens to be approximately equal to the percentage of CU-Denver students on the Auraria campus. This is just one of thediscrepanciesthatthereporterfailedtomention. Thereporteralsofailedtomentionthesalary increase of 9 percent, which Dick Feuerborn, MSC director of Campus Recreation , stated would probably be decreased to 3 percent, and the increase in advertising, wh ich would not be feasible if the facility is saturated. The ASCU-Denver Finance Board and myself, ' acting chairman of the March 10 Finance Board meeting, would have appreciated being consulted about our perspective on the situation. It might behoove the reporters on The Metropolitan to collect facts from all sources of information before writing an article on any subject. Tom Reum Vice-Chairman, ASCU-Denver Finance Board

Don't sell out

R~nr:::~~~~~e:~,~h~~::~~~ in the 3/ 18/88 paper

and would like to respond. I amsurprisedatthepoint of your article; to the extent that I just have to write. Tell me, what is an intelligent person doing in 212 degrees and up to your ankles in peanut shells anyway? I was immediately reminded of an article in the national gay magazine The Advocate (not CU's paper) in an article by author Armstead Maupin. The last lines were; " Lord, that's so simple. If you hate you r job, quit it. If your friends are tedious, go out and find new ones. You are queer, you lucky fool, and that makes you one of life's buccaneers, free from the clutter of 2,000 years of Judeo-Christian sermonizing. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and start hoisting your sails. You haven't a moment to lose." Renee, I offer you the same advice. Do you really think waiting tables in that hole is what you want to be doir:ig? Do you really have so little pride and ability that you can't do dozens of jobs that require your talents, your humor, your energy. People who hang out full-t ime in bars, whether they work there or drink there, are missing out on the magic of life. I know; I lived that life for twenty years and can now tell you it's worth nothing. The only reasons to ever go to a bar are to eat good foo·d and hear good music and sometimes be otherwise entertained. Otherwise I am too saddened by the sloppy drunks and waitresses who resemble frizzy kicked puppies. Renee, are you living your life for yourself or your enemies? Appearances don't count for squat when they stick you in the ground (all right, or scatter you to the winds) , so why shou ld you waste a single moment of your life seeming to be something you don't want to be? I have an idea. Borrow a medical terminology book f rom the library, read it, and talk yourself into a unit secretary job on an ICU at a local hospital. Some even have pools; you could pick your own sh ifts. See what it feels like to do something vital to others, and I bet you will never consider wading in peanut shells again. Life is just to short to sell yourself short. Richard Randolph MSC Student

Third Annual Easter Food Lift

SQme.bing touching Eric Mees

Assistant Editor

The old story of people going out of their way to help their fellow man on holidays is almost a cliche. But in this case, the good that's been done by the Easter Food Lift outweighs the worn-out cliche. For the third year, volunteers flew donated food to needy Colorado communities. The event was sponsored by Alpha Eta Rho (AHP), an international aviation fraternity. "I wish we could do one every week," said Jeff Price, president of Sigma Phi, MSC's chapter of AHP. But, for now, it only comes around once a year. On Saturday, April 2, 50 to 60 volunteers gathered at Front Range Airport in Watkins, Colo., to launch the event. They loaded 10,000 pounds of food into 31 small airplanes, and at 9 a.m. the planes took off for eight airfields around the state. Originally, 12 sites had been selected, but blizi.ard conditions forced five cancellations. On the good side, Custer County was added to the list at the last minute. This year 11,000 pounds of food was collected, but the light aircraft could not carry it all, so the remaining food was donated to the Holy Ghost Church in Denver. "It was very, very helpful," said Cheri Gallegos, a secretary at the.church. She said the food was distributed through the Holy Spirit Center. The food was collected mostly by members of AHP, who went door to door asking for donations. Super Value Foods also contributed 300 cases of food, and King Soopers and Union Liquors made contnbutions. From the time the Food Lift took off, it wanned many hearts and stomachs. "It was real good," said Arlie Riggs, director of Custer County Social Services in Westcliffe. Riggs said she didn't even find out the county was to receive food until the day of the event. "It was a complete surprise - something we never bad before," she said. "It was real nice."

Riggs was s1!pplied with about 700 pounds of food from three airplanes. "We gave most of it to families that have large numbers of children," she said. It was distributed to 12 families, two of which have seven children. The planes flew to places other than Custer County, though. Other stops were Greeley, Ft. Collins, Pueblo, Walsenburg, Trinidad, Sterling and Canon City. The food was mostly distributed through churches and shelters, 'Price said. And not only was there variety in the locations, but variety in the participants. There were representatives from the Jeffco Pilots Association, Colorado Air National Guard, Colorado Pilots Association and the Civil Air Patrol (CAP). But Metro was definitely the most represented. Thirty people from Sigma Phi and the Metro State Flight Team attended. · "Those young fellas at the college deserve a lot of credit," said Col. Roger MacDonald, wing commander of the , Colorado CAP.

Also, a lone pilot who had just heard about the chari~ showed up and asked if he could help. "That's what I like about the aviation communityeveryone really pulls together," Price said. And the pilots have pulled together since the beginnin the airlift three years ago. On the first year only four airc and 300 pounds of food were there. The second year brc a bit more growth. And this year .... "Oh yeah, it's been growing to about the fourth root ~ year," Price said. Originally, the concept was to provide enough food fc hearty meal on Easter Sunday, he said. But now, the am of food distnbuted will last longer than one meal. For example, the 1,000 pounds of food delivered to Greeley should last 18 families two to three weeks. One of the first "rules" of the event was that it wasn't be about publicity. Rather, it was to be about helping pe "This is what you can accomplish when people get., together to help each other - only with teamwork and dedication can help events like these happen," Price said really think we have helped a lot of people."

To take a break from traveling and interpreting for politicians and journalists, Miller teaches from time to time. This is her first semester at MSC, where she teaches introductory French classes. She also teaches a course at the University of Colorado at Boulder. "Interpreting is very stressful. It's nice to have a break from that, too." Miller said. "Just from a linguistic point of view, it's a real challenge. You really have to know • your stuff. "When you are on, you're really on," she said. Simultaneous interpretation is so intense that interpreters work in pairs, switching from "on" to "off" every half-hour. Miller compared interpreting to mental gymnastics. Sometimes she must flip the sentences to keep the meaning straight, but she can't let go of the speech. If she were to get lost, Miller said, speakers wouldn't stop for her. However, consecutive interpretation is also difficult because the interpreter must take notes and remember what was said. There are occasions that consecutive interpretation is necessary, though. For example, when the audience outnumbers the ear pieces for her microphone, it must be used. Consecutive interpretation is also used in court proceedings because the exact words are n~. With simultaneous interpretation, there often is not time to think of the precise word needed, Miller said "It is worth the extra time to be sure you are getting it right," she said Because much of her interpreting deals with political ~ues, Miller also must understand French and English political jargon. "I have to study. I read a lot of newspapers and magazines to be familiar with the terms for different concepts," Miller said Despite the pressure, Miller expects to continue her contract interpretations with the State Department for a while. "Probably till I die," she laughed. "ru always be doing a few amgrunents, rm sure. It's a wonderful opportunity to get to know ':' people from other countries. "It's nice to do ... all three - teaching, interpreting and translation. They are too different (to compue)," Miller said. ..I really couldn't say I like one better than the

others."

On March 31, Coca-Cola caught the wave, but not the one it's famous for. The soda company was caught_in a wave of eight reported thefts last week on campus. In one of the thefts, the vault in the Coca-Cola truck was robbed of $400, according to Lolly Ferguson of Auraria Public Safety. Between 2:25 and 2:49 p.m. while Bradford Sparks, the Coca-Cola driver, serviced a machine in the North Classroom, someone broke one of the truck's windows, got in and took the money, Ferguson said. Since this happened in daylight at the North aassroom loading dock, Public Safety is asking that anyone who saw anyone suspicious on that day to please notify the office at 556-3271.

The "F' word. We're all adults - we know which one that is. No, not "fail," not "fame," not "fate." The dirty, ugly four-lettered one. The one that will almost guarantee a slap from any passing nun. The one that on Colfax, along with $50, will get you a social disease. Tlie one that The American Heritage Dictionary describes thusly: " I. Vulgar. To have sexual intercourse with. 2. Vulgar Slang. To deal with in an aggressive, unjust, or spiteful manner," etc ... The one that you will probably never see in The Metropolitan. Some of you will applaud this. Others, well .... It's not that we wouldn't use it. On the contrary, if the use of it was justified - vital to the essence of the story - it would probably be there. We've used most every other swear-word in print. We've used most all of them around the office, too. Especially when we're pushing deadline. The Rocky Mountain News and The

Denver Post usually use the "f-" method. Is this some kind of new Morse code? Is this "Wheel of Fortune"? Other papers like Westwordjust go ahead and print it at will. Some times it's justified, other times it's just for the sake of impact. Even though it isn't one of the nicest words in the English language, it isn't as bad as some people make it out to be. Over the years, it has been used so much that it bas lost much of its effect - isn't that why swearing was invented in the first place? The dictionary calls it a vulgar word What about kissing someone who's just smoked a pack of unfiltered Lucky Strikes? The same dictionary defines vulgar as having to do with the common people "distinguished from the educated or cultivated classes." Is a movie scene showing David Niven or Max von Sydow standing at a urinal taking a leak cultivated? I've known of the word since I was seven or eight. On our way home from school, my best friend and I would try and think of the most creative uses thereof - many years before we even knew what it meant. It was an escape. An escape from the rules and such our parents and teachers represented. At least we weren't smoking pot and shoplifting from the 7-11 like some of our peers. Nowadays, I probably say it too much (sorry, mom). I should, at the very least, save it for effect. Strategically placed, no word can equal it for impact But if someone tells me nicely that it offends him/her, I make a conscious effort to cool it. Mind you, I don't agree, but, hey, I'm flexible. Now, if you choose to be unpleasant about it, just don't expect a, "Golly, thank you for correcting my use of said vulgarity. I'll never do it again." o

It's not just a job ••• The ratings the student receives at the camp play a crucial role in his or her future. The Army combines those ratings with the student's GPA and field of study to determine the type of duty he or she is best suited for. "We've compared well in the ratings against many big-name schools and it's because of the quality of the students we get in here," Tilley said. "They didn't get the breaks of life, the money for private tutors and all that. But they have a sense of initiative and a desire to excel .... They make their own breaks." Tilley also said that since Metro is a nontraditional school, it tends to get more students with prior military service. Their proven ability to take the difficult demands of military "life in stride rubs off on the younger members, he said. ''We get a lot of prior-service people, and it's good because they've had a taste and they want more," Tilley said. Joe Marriott, 23, is an example. He spent several years in the Army as an enlisted member, but left to get a degree and pursue his goal of becoming a military pilot. "I really enjoyed my enlisted term, and it can really be rewarding if you can adapt well to the discipline," Marriott said. "But I want to fly. Enlisted guys all complain a lot, but the people in this program are like me they're looking for more than just a job." D

Andy Glaess Reporter

With the current crisis in Central America, military service is probably the last thing most students want to do after graduation. But for members of the Army ROTC program at MSC, military service is a goal, and one for which they seem to have a special knack. Seventy-five percent of the Army's offic.. ers are graduates of ROTC programs throughout the country, and Metro - with mostly older, working, non-traditional students may be turning out some of the Army's finest leaders. "I find a streak of maturity in the students here that is not found on the typical campus," said Lt. Col. Ben Tilley, commander of the detachment 'I ii MSC. "Ymi" can't flash fancy ACT or SAT scores, but the students from this school have done better than students from the majority of other schools in the country in our Advanced Camp every summer." The Advanced Camp is an intense sixweek course the Army conducts annually at Fort Lewis, Wash. All ROTC students who will be seniors at the start of the next academic year must attend The camp gives students a chance to display skills ranging from writing a'proper operations order to attacking an enemy position.

----SPORTS Slugger hits 2 HRs in heart-stopping win Robert Ritter Associate Editor

It may not have been the shot beard 'round the world but it was at least the shot heard 'round the Auraria diamond The "shot" was a one-out home run by MSC catcher Dave Gudridge in the bottom

of the ninth that propelled the Roadrunners to a 10-9 win over the University of Denver. "It was an exciting moment," Gudridge said of bis game-winning hit "I wasn't really looking to hit the ball out. "To tell you the truth, he'd been throwing off-speed all day. My first home run (a fourth-inning, two-run shot), I hit a fastball.

This time he threw me a big changeup that got up just a little bit." The Roadrunners started slow on offense, but Metro pitcher Casey Ryan struck out four of the first nine batters he faced. The Pioneers were equal to the task, going scoreless through three innings while Mark Panella was pitching no-hitter.

Ladies strike gold in Mines win Eric Mees

Assistant Editor

Both the MSC women's softball team and sophomore pitcher Brenda Losinski ended losing streaks in a big way March 30. The two combined for a 10-0 rout of the Colorado School of Mines. But the weather played an April Fool's Day joke, and any potential winning streak was halted by the cancellation of a weekend series with Southern Utah. Losinski, now 8-5 on the season, bad lost five of her last six games. "Brenda is still throwing well," said firstyear coach Joan Tamblin of her leading pitcher. She also said the teams that have beaten Losinski haven't been hitting well against her. But hitting well lately for the Roadrunners have been Michelle Hermosillo and Shari McArthur. Hermosillo had two singles and

four RBI against Mines. She is second only to Nancy Kogle on the team with a .368 batting average and 18 RBI. McArthur has also been on something of a tear, Tamblin said. She hit a triple in the Mines game - her third of the season. The Roadrunners are now 12-12 on the season. Eleven of the losses have come on the road, while the team is 4-1 at home. But Tamblin is satisfied with the team's play on the road. "I'm pleased with it," she said. The Roadrunners, an NCAA Division II team, have 10 of their remaining 14 games at the Auraria fields. They host New Mexico State, an NCAA Division I team, at 4 p.m. on April 8. They then host New Mexico Highlands for a doubleheader on April 9 starting at noon and another on April l 0 starting at 11 a.m. The R~ers beat Highlands three of

four games in New Mexico earlier this season. If the team can finish strong with wins over New Mexico State and/ or CSU (another Division I team), there is still an outside chance for a playoff spot The Roadrunners are not in a specific league, but rather an independent team. Tamblin said an at-large playoff bid is unlikely because this year's schedule has not allowed MSC to play many Division II league teams. Hence, it is not easy to judge bow the team compares with those teams. Tamblin said she hopes to be able to construct next year's schedule around more of those teams. With the improvements the squad has made over last year's 6-28 combined with the probable return of all but two senior players, the '89 Roadrunners should look o good, if not better, than ever.

In the top of the fourth, though, DU got two men aboard on an error by third baseman Rusty Befus and Ryan's first walk. That was followed by a three-run homer for a 3-0 DU lead. Metro came back in the bottom of the inning on Torin Berge's single and Gudridge's first homer to trail 3-2. The fifth inning resembled a track meet more than a baseball game. DU scored four runs on three walks, a double and a hit batter. Not to be outdone, the Roadrunners came back with seven runs as 11 batters went to the plate in the inning. The biggest contnbutions came from center fielder Rusty Miller, who hit a two-run double, and Befus, who added a two-run single. The "track meet" slowed down as neither team scored in the next three innings and they went into the ninth with Metro holding a 9-7 lead Metro ace reliever Mike Scarpella, who got the final out in the eighth, gave up two consecutive walks to start the ninth. After a strikeout, he walked another batter, then gave up a sacrifice fly and a two-out single, and the score was tied 9-9. Scarpella got the final batter to ground out to first and set up Gudridge's "shot." Coach Bill Helman said the Roadrunners seem to be developing a tradition of comebacks agaimt DU.

Slugger powers MSC win continued from p. 16

"We sort of have a habit of that with them," he said. "The last time we played them (an 11-9 Metro win March 14), we scored six in the ninth to beat them." But Helman said the Roadrunners thrive on the intensity of close games. "One of the things we stress is for our guys to believe one-run games are ours. If you start to believe you'll win those pressure situations, then you'll win them." Helman also said Gudridge's recent play .has fueled the Metro offense. "Right now he's in a groove. We have been taking turns. It seems like there is always someone providing the power." Gudridge said the source of the comeback can be traced to the team's never-say-die spirit. "We're fighters. You can't say enough

about this team, it just doesn't quit," he said. Metro improved its record to 14-8 overall, while DU fell to 15-16 on the year. The Roadrunners travel to Nebraska for an April 9 doubleheader against the University of Nebraska-Omaha, then to Missouri for an April I 0 doubleheader against Northwest Missouri State, and to P·ueblo for a doubleheader on April 13 · against New Mexico Highlands.
