Minority stance defended

Fulkerson OK Ellzabeth Rees Reporter

,.

r

MSC interim President William Fulkerson's stance on minority hiring and enrollment practices came under fire in an April 27 story in the Rocky Mountain News.

The story quoted Pierre Jimenez, president of Hispanics of Colorado, as saying that faculty members at Adams State College believe Fulkerson was insensitive to minority programs.

Fulkerson, who accepted the interim position after Paul Magelli resigned last May, is technically still president at Adams State.

"There has been some question as to his commitment to minorities," Jimenez told the News. "Some are adamantly opposed to his ever going back (to Adams State) or even being considered for a presidency in the state of Colorado."

These statements have been criticized by administration and staff at both Adams State College and MSC, as well as the founder and former president of Hispanics of Colorado, John Garcia.

"This guy (Jimenez) does not represent the Hispanic community," Garcia said "His statements are personal, vindictive and have no basis. Fulkerson has good credentials and a good reputation."

Mike Wonser, director of public affairs at Adams State College said, "I question the ethics of the Jimenez statement Dr. Fulkerson has been instrumental in reversing the decline in enrollment overall at Adams State. He has always been concerned and supportive to minority issues."

Wosner said Fulkerson has encouraged the recruitment of minorities for faculty positions. He also said Fulkerson raised the quality of education at Adams State without putting the institution out of reach for the students with a poor educational background.

Houston G. Elam, president of The State Colleges in Colorado, said he disagrees with Jimenez.

"I am distressed with that quote. I have never heard from any source criticism that (Fulkerson) has no commitment to minorities."

Fulkerson is one of three remaining candidates vying for MSC's presidency. Dr. Otto F. Bauer from the University of Nebraska, Omaha, was interviewed on campus April 27 and 28, and Dr. Thomas B. Brewer from Georgia State Univer-

Lila 81'1111 IM Jiff ln1118 .-..111 lllffll lnwlll • lbnlytlwl -

sity is scheduled to visit MSC May 3 and 4.

Dr. Antonio Esqwbe~ MSC vice president for Student Affairs, said, "I think (Fulkerson) has always been sensitive to minority issues at Metro. I have no problem with Dr. Fullcerson and minority programs."

Dr. Lawrence T. Gomez, dean of studentS at Adams State College, also disagrees with Jimenez and cites Fulkerson's background on minority issues. ''That is definitely not true. (Fulkerson),was sensitive to minority issues. He did a significant number of things that

don. lllry 1111pltteDI•Pllll12111113.

included minorities. He was the first president to appoint a minority to an administrative position."

Gomez said he can't understand where Jimenez received his information. He said Fulkerson was concerned with minority recruitment at Adams State and he made sure the allotment of money was available for minority students.

Fulkerson was out of town and unavailable for comment.

The Metropolitan tried several times to contact Jimenez, but he did not return the phone calls. o

Student's blind date is carried to the extreme Dave Beech Reporter

'

Ever try going out on a blind date before?

No? How about a blind marriage?

Well, that's what MSC student Mary Zachariah, a native of Kerla, India, did.

Zachariah, whose family moved to Colorado when she was 5, Let her parents arrange her marriage. Not just arrange, say, for a caterer or any of the other small details involved in a wedding. No, her parents made the BIG ARRANGEMENT. Her husband It's something quite common in India, where Zachariah said marriage comes first and love comes second and sections of newspapers are devoted to families seeking marriage proposals for their children. But it's something out of the ordinary in America.

''My parents would joke about arranging a marriage for me or my sister," Zachariah said. ''The whole concept was so strange to me and my sister."

But she knew that someday she would marry a man from India. So in December 1986, her parents asked her how she felt about their finding a husband for her.

"I said, 'No way. I'm 19; I've got school. I don't want to get married yet, especially to someone I don't know,'" she said.

Furthermore, she believed in the tradition of falling in love and then marrying, just as her parents had done.

Her parents reassured her by telling her that first it would take five or six years to find a suitable husband, and second, she would have the final say concerning any potential husband.

Her parents placed an ad in the Indian

Express, a national newspaper, saying a girl in the United States needed a tall Christian man for a husband.

"Guys in India are short," explained the 20-year-old student. She is 5-foot-7.

Her parents received 60 to 70 responses from families of doctors, lawyers and actors - too many for Zachariah to read.

"After a while I got tired of reading all of them," she said. "So I told my mom and dad, 'YOU choose.' " Her parents ultimately selected six bachelors and wrote to their families. Of those six, her eventual husband, Mohan Kanjoor, an electronics engineer, phoned Zachariah's father.

"He called - that's what did it," she said.

-----NEWS---. Economic reality dashes Tivoli dreams Eric Hobart Reporter _,

>-

.__ ,, ,._

• The Auraria Higher Education Center's hope of sharing in a thriving Tivoli shopping center's prosperity has been frustrated by Denver's tight economy, but a new plan might fulfill that hope.

AHEC has lost $34,000 in potential revenue every year since the Tivoli opened.

WhenAHEC, whichhasownedthepropertysince 1974, leased out the historic building, it sacrificed $100,000 in yearly parking revenue, confident that a $66,000 minimum rent payment plus a percentage of the complex's profits would exceed that sum.

But it hasn't happened yet, said Kristie Hansen, AHEC's director of Special Projects. AHEC has collected only the minimum rent so far, she said.

AHEC leased the Tivoli building and two adjacent parking lots to Triz.ec Inc., a Canadian development firm, on May 14, 1980,. Minimum rent for the building and lots began at $48,000 per year and rose within five years to $66,000. That will be the rent until the year 2042, when the lease expires. Coldwell Banker retail leasing specialist Tom Mathews said $66,000 for the 224,000 square foot Tivoli is not a lot But AHEC expected to make up the difference with a percentage of the total sales and tenant rents collected from the individual stores by Ernest Hahn Co., Tiuc's manage· ment subsidiary. As Triuc's profits rose, so would AHEC's rental income. And Triuc predicted immediate profits.

"We anticipate $3 million in sales-tax revenue the first year," R. Perry Coons, then director of marketing for Hahn Co., said in 1985, one month before the Tivoli's grand opening. He also said Tivoli expected to draw $200 per square foot in sales the first year. With full occupancy, that would add up to $44 million in annual sales.

Sure of large profits, AHEC was willing to surrender the two lots, 616 parking spaces. Mark Gallagher, AHEC's assistant director of Parking and Transportation Services, said the lots produced aboui $100,000 revenue in 1984.

AHEC promised to share the money with Auraria students. It would apply some of the profits to the studentheld bond used to finance the Student Center. This would lower student fees.

Former AHEC Executive Director Jerry Wartgow said in a 1980 Metropolitan interview, "We will pledge those fees back to pay off the Student Center."

Because expected profits were not realized, student fees were not reduced. Hansen said the revenue AHEC received was used to pay off its parking bond. The bond is a consolidation of two previous bonds taken out in 1975 and 1976, she said. The final payment on the $2.5 million remaining on the bond is scheduled for 1995, she said.

However, profits were only part of the source of AHEC's enthusiasm. The 19th century Tivoli brewery, vacant since

Thru years ind l30 mllllon 1fter this photo w11 t1k1n. the Tlvoll atlll c1n't turn 1 profit

1969, had become an eyesore. Ericks had begun to fall and paint to peel off the boarded-up landmark.

"The Tivoli literally came within months of being declared an unsafe structure and being tom down," said Larry Ambrose, AHEC's director of development.

Several renovation proposals, among them dormitories and lab facilities, had been rejected by AHEC for the same reason -lack of financing.

Trizec solved the money problem. It would renovate the Tivoli at its own expense. Originally estimated at $11 to $14 million, the renovation's final cost was $30 million, said Terry Willey, Hahn Co.'s general manager. Difficulties in construction that led to the higher cost also delayed Tivoli's opening. Scheduled for the fall of 1984, the grand opening took place August 15, 1985. Tivoli's nearest competitor, the Tabor Center, opened first.

Construction problems were only the beginning of Tivoli's difficulties. Trizec's optimistic predictions were made prior to the drop in oil prices that battered Denver's energy industry. All of Denver's economy shrank as a result.

The pool of potential retailers interested in setting up shop in the Tivoli shrunk as well.

However, Willey refuses to blame Denver's sluggish economy for the Tivoli's slow start.

"The money's still here," he said. "There's still people that live here in Denver, and they are buying shirts and going out for dinners and we need to address that.

"To jump on the r~ion bandwagon, you know ... no

File Photo

one's convinced me of that."

The Tivoli opened with 56 percent of its space leased.

Willey said the current occupancy is approximately 64 percent. Some retailers interested in the Tivoli chose the Tabor because it opened first. Jeff Smith, part-owner of Cornucopia, a popcorn store in the Tivoli, said he and his wife had debated between the two. They decided on the Tivoli because of Trizec's extensive plans, among other thin~.

"There was a lot of blue sky sold here," he said. "Everybody had these grandiose ideas, management included."

Trizec originally planned for Tivoli to be a specialty mall, and to draw a large percentage of tourists, Willey said.

"The designs and conceptual drawings I saw were of really unique store fronts. It looked more like Disneyland store fronts than an urban shopping center," he said.

But at some point the concept changed. Also 65 percent of Tivoli's customers turned out to be Colorado residents, he said.

Many of the original shops in the Tivoli did not survive.

Three stores, Western Wear, Murray's Shoes and Charday, have closed in 1988. To improve tenants' chances for survival, Hahn Co. has lowered rents. Tenants are offered a percentage rent based on their sales until they begin to tum a large enough profit to pay a set rent, Willey said.

Unfortunately, Hahn Co. 's effort to encourage tenants has caused problems for AHEC, Hansen said.

Kleg: Homosexuality an abomination, not Zoah Kristin Hager Reporter A recent senate conflict revolving around the homosexuality ofSenator Zak Zoah was resolved after Senator-elect Joel Kleg made ·- a "public statement" - not a retraction or an apology - to the senate April 27.

"I believe homosexuality is an abomination, but I do not deny members of the gay community the right to interact or practice with any aspect of public life, including ~ public life as per the Constitution (AA) regardless of my personal beliefs.

"The statements I made concerning homosexuality were not meant as a demeaning cha.racteri7.ation of the individuals within the gay community. Rather, it is my

opinion concerning the act of homosexuality," Kleg said before the senate Wednesday.

Kleg's statement was based on an interview with The Metropolitan April 22.

"I have respect for Mr. Zak Zoah as to what he has done for the senate. He has put considerable work into it and has done a good job .... My conflict lies not with the individual, but with the act itself," Kleg added.

In a meeting between Kleg, Zoah, Vice President of Student Affairs Dr. Antonio Esquibel and Associate Vice President Dr. David Conde April 25, the two decided that a public apology would be enough to resolve the situation.

However, the term "apology" has also

been up for speculation. After Kleg completed his statement to the senate, Senator Barb Mariano asked if an apology was forthcoming. Zoah asked for the floor at this time.

"When we met with Dr. Esquibel and Dr. Conde, we worked out this arrangement to settle the issue. I'm not entirely in agreement with this statement," said Zoah, holding up a copy of Kleg's words, "but I have agreed to get on with it.

"I consider it apologiud for, and I am done with this," Zoah said.

Kleg agreed to allow Zoah to take out an ad in The Metropolitan publishing his statement, but only on the stipulation that it be published in its entirety and quoted directly.

"I think that's fair," Zoah said.

Zoah wishes to publish the statement as an apology to the gay community of Auraria.

Zoah bas also dropped a complaint to the election commission stating that Kleg had a campaign poster hanging longer than the allotted five days following April 8-10 MSC elections.

Kleg said he is glad to see the issue finally put to rest, but that he feels it went further . than it should have.

"I feel that the publicity has had a derogatory effect on the senate, and I think that the whole thing was blown way out of proportion," he said. o

An $18 million list of parking improvement recommendations will go before Auraria parking officials and the Auraria Board next month for consideration.

The 10-year plan, formulated by Denver consulting firm BRW, stresses the need for at least one or two parking garages on campus and the re-alignment of several existing lots.

In a needs ~ment report presented to the board in January, BRW stated that Auraria's parking supply is nearly 3,000 spaces short as of 1988, and that 2,300 more are needed within the next l 0 years, based on projected enrollment increases. Auraria currently has 6,699 parking spaces on and off campus.

Randy Ready, director of Transportation at Auraria, said these recommendations are merely suggestions by the firm and are not final recommendations to the Auraria Board "We know that one parking garage may be necessary over the next few years, but I don't think we can afford to make all the changes they suggested," Ready said.

"Eighteen million dollars is out of the question right now."

The Parking Advisory Committee, made up of student government leaders, faculty and AHEd'advisers, will meet next week to discuss the recommendations and decide

which they will propose to the board in May. The report suggests two four-level parking garages to be built in lots K and R, the first within five years at an estimated cost of $9 million. The structure would add l, l 00 spaces to Auraria. The second structure • would add 800 spaces within 10 years.

The report also suggests acquiring land between Fifth and Sixth streets west of the campus, adding 1,000 spaces. An estimate that includes new lots and the restriping of existing lots, to create 260 more spaces, r quotes a price of $2,520,000. This price, however, does not include the land costs for new lots.

However, an additional 30 percent of the total 5,000 spaces needed must be found off-campus, the report says. BRW suggests that Auraria look to increase its supply at Mile High Stadium, buy land in the proposed Platte Valley Development area, and request additional space in the downtown area to make up for the 2,050 spaces needed - off-campus.

After increased shuttle services, BRW estimates a cost of $300,000 annually for upkeep and maintenance. This does not include land lease or purchase cost.

BRW's findings were based on a survey of the parking needs of students, faculty and • staff, and a look at 20 nationwide commuter o campus parking solutions.

Lot W to close May 31; no additional parking lost Lot W will remain open through May 31, according to Director of Transportation Randy Ready.

The lot had originally been scheduled to close April 25.

Ready also said that no lots will be affected by rerouting through campus, which is currently being set up by the highway

department in preparation for the Lawrence Street viaduct closure.

"Access to some lots may be impacted, but no capacity will be lost," he said. "All spaces will be available, except for the losses in lot W."

"After he called, I remember thinking he must be really interested. He was the only one to call."

Zachariah mulled the question over. Her husband-to-be already had a proposal from another family in India that included a $500,000 dowry, something her parents were not offering.

Soon the deadline approached for her decision.

"I prayed about it," she said. "I knew if I said yes I'd be married within the year. And suddenly, I felt a peace in my heart. Then I knew."

So she told her parents to go ahead with the marriage plans. Because the groom's parents could not get visas, the wedding was in Coimbatore, India, on Aug. 31, 1987.

Her parents kept telling her she could back out of the marriage up to the day of the wedding.

"I had only met him two or three times before we were married," she said. "But I

had no doubt in my mind when we met, but my heart was not quite in it."

A case of food poisoning and a ceremony spoken in Malaalum made if difficult for Zachariah to comprehend that she was married

"I was married in a sari," she said. "I never ever imagined an Indian wedding. I always thought of an American wedding in a white dress."

Zachariah spent the next three weeks in India getting to know her husband before job and school commitments separated the couple. He went to Babara.in, she back to the United States. They were reunited April 4.

The seven-month separation was great, she said. It gave her time to adjust to being ~ married and for .them to get to know each other.

"Besides," she added, "I am not in love with my husband. But I know that I will learn to love him." o

End of line for prof ...

David Konrad Reporter

Greg McAllister's employment history has been what one might call a series of

~

random jobs. And his most recent job as a part-time English prof~r ~t MSC is coming to an end.

"I can't afford the habit anymore," McAllister said about his part-time faculty position.

He is disillusioned with the situation of the part-time faculty and sees no future, job security or possibility for full-time employment for part-timers under the present situation.

"We are the 'niggers' of Metropolitan State College," McAllister said of the parttime faculty.

McAllister, having, spent time as a civil rights worker in 1965 in Mississippi, uses the term "nigger" advisedly, and in reference to a specific people in a specific situation.

"The 'niggers' I worked with were good, honest people who worked as hard, if not harder, than their white counterparts for a fraction of the pay. They had no job security and could be fired any time at the whim of the plantation boss. They also had no rights, no due process, no ability to appeal an injustice," McAllister wrote in a letter to the Trustees of the Consortium of State Colleges (now named The State Colleges in Colorado).

"

"Abstracting the cosmeti~ of color, you have niggers working for you right here at Metro," he said. "Part-time instructors work just as hard as their full-time colleagues at a fraction of the salary, have had no raises for eight years, not even cost ofliving allowances, can be terminated at the whim of the department chair, and have absolutely no recourse, no due process rights. In fact, your latest rewrite of the (faculty) handbook states explicitly that supervisors are forbidden from giving reasons to temporary faculty for cessation of contract.

"It's important for us (part-time faculty) to know that, because up to now we have been deluded into thinking of ourselves as professionals, when in reality, from your point of view as employer, we are niggers."

Barbara Lawrence, assistant to Consortium President Houston Elam, said Elam is

Part-time MSC prof Gr911 McAllister fully aware of the part-timers' situation.

The board has unanimously agreed to accept a report Elam has prepared on the situation as a starting point for remedying the problem.

The report suggests that such things as pay raises, office space and benefits be considered McAllister has been working for a year and a half to organize the part-timers to confront the administration about their situation.

According to McAllister, things weren't always this bad. "(Former MSC President Paul) Magelli was very sympathetic ofthe part-time faculty.

He wanted to make Metr~ a model for the entire nation with its use of part-timers," McAllister said The present situation, in contrast to Magelli's position is bleak, according to McAllister.

"But now reality strikes. Instead of being offered any improvements to our situation, we are legally reduced to ~e status of nigger," McAllister said "Maybe we need this dose of reality.

Maybe it's time to drop our professional illusions, face the fact that we are niggers, and plan our lives accordingly."

McAllister has also come to the reality that academics have their own way of doing things.

"The inertia of the institution (MSC) is such that you can't make anything happen," McAllister said.

So, Greg Allister is looking to greener pastures in Fort Collins and a master's program in social work.

"So I can get paid to cause trouble," McAllister said o

Tivoli troubles/from pg. 3 "The filling of shops seems to be on rather an ad hoc basis - in other words, somebody who's interested, they (Hahn Co.) just put them in," she said. "And they go belly-up.

Many of them have.

"H you're desperate, you put in anybody "- you can."

Usually Trizec, who has developed 41 other malls, opens its centers with 90 percent of the space leased. But the Tivoli is a unique situation, Willey said The other malls are more conventional and have several chain ,_ stores as tenants, and chain stores would not be appropriate for the Tivoli, he said "Because of the other malls we have and the connections we have with national tenants ... we could probably fill it (Tivoli) up in 30 days if we wanted to - but I don't think that's what the shoppers want," he 路 said. "I think we want to be known as the specialty center."

And giving the shoppers what they want is the ultimate goal of AHEC and Trizec.

AHEC is concerned about the fluctuating rent, Hansen said, but increased trade would

掳'

ease that concern. Hahn Co. is exploring new plans to make that happen.

Willey said the solution lies in establishing a theme for the mall, recruiting retailers who compliment that theme, and providing a broad selection of merchandise interesting enough to draw shoppers.

A consulting firm, Bagwell Realty, recently advised Hahn Co. to return to the original concept of a specialty mall and refine that concept, Willey said An example of the type of store Hahn Co. is considering is a "white store," which carries women's apparel - all of it white. He said most of the stores being sought will be new to Colorado.

Almost three years after its opening, the Tivoli is not living up to expectations. The predicted $200 per square foot in sales has turned into about $157, Willey said Nearly 30 percent of the mall's space stands vacant.

AHEC is still waiting for rent payments to exceed the lost parking revenue. And Auraria students have 616 fewer parking spaces to call their own. o

The goal: beat stress .

"Schedules are incredibly helpful," she says. "Set up blocks of time to do things that have to be done. And more importantly, follow your schedule.

"And third, while setting up your schedule, schedule in relaxation time," Williams says.

"You have to plan times to relax and give your brain a break. This time can be used to watch TV, exercise or whatever it takes to relax, but it must be planned for."

Williams says exercise also helps relieve stress.

"Exercise is one of the greatest stress releasers," she says. "Sometimes an hour of exercise can be far more beneficial than the same hour being used for studying. Instead of saying to yourself that you don't have time to jog, make an effort to go jogging."

Fourth, Williams says sleep should be as much a priority as anything else during the final weeks.

"This is kind of a given, but very important - students must get plenty of sleep," she says. "All-nighters are not good physically or mentally and usually don't accomplish much. With a good schedule, all-nighters aren't necessary, and students will get the rest they need."

Last, Williams says students should identify the time of day they study best "Everybody functions best at different times. There are morning people, night people, and some people study best in the middle of the day. It doesn't matter when. What matters is that each student recognize when they function and study the most efficiently and maximiz.e their work during that time."

Lance Wllllamson Reporter

The stress season is here for college students.

It arrives every semester at about the twoweeks-to-go mark. From now until the end of finals, students can experience more stress than any time during the semester.

Term papers are due, projects have to be completed, and tests covering recent material are upcoming. And to top everything off, there are finals. All this adds up to an extremely stressful time for students.

But there are ways to help alle..Uate stress, says Carmen Williams, doctor of clinical psychology and associate director of the MSC Counseling Center.

"In order to combat stress, students must make a conscious effort to do something about it," Williams says.

Williams cites five ways students can reduce their stress during the hectic days of semester's end.

First, Williams suggests that students set realistic goals.

"In terms of preparation, students must be realistic about their goals," she says. "If you've maintained a C average throughout the semester, don't shoot to get an A in the final weeks. Pushing for a grade that is not obtainable is extremely stressful.

"Students should be cemfortable with their goals and not always getting A's and not having to be perfect."

Second, Williams says students should set up a schedule of their activities.

If students implement these stress aids into their lives during the final weeks of school, Williams says, most students should be able to get through the end of the semester with less stress. However, if students

feel they might need or want more information or counseling on s~, Williams en.courages students to stop by the Counseling Center in CN-104 or call 556-3132.

MSC turning minorities on to education Victoria Fitzpatrick Reporter

The number of minorities enrolled at MSC, 16 percent of the students, surpasses the percentage of minorities living in the suburbs. But it is lower than the percentage of minorities living in Denver, and that's not good enough for Dr. Kenneth Curtis, dean of Ad.misfilons and Records.

So MSC is trying to get the minority communities "turned on" to higher education, Curtis said.

To do this, Michael Miera, assistant director of High School and Community Relations, said MSC is using a three-pronged approach: working within high schools, developing a recruiting network within the community, and starting a motivation program for junior high students to interest them in college.

Miera works with Hispanic and Native American Indian students, while his coworker, Gwen Elder, works with black and Asian students.

MSC representatives visit Denver area high sch09ls twice a year to talk about and deliver catalogs.

Low MSC enrollment forces a change in recruiting procedure Also, the college has an on-going high school ambassador program. In this program, MSC teacher-education majors become big brothers or big sisters to high school students identified as "at risk'' of dropping out. The college students help the high school students build the skills they will need for college and encourage them to continue their educations. The college ambassadors also assist the students with their studies or help them find tutors to assist them, Miera said. Currently, 66 high school students are in the program, Miera said.

If the high school student decides to attend MSC after graduation, Coors awards

a scholarship worth I 00 percent of tuition, fees and books. The teacher-education students also receive $500 scholarships for the semesters they are involved with the program, Miera said.

These are the only scholarships available through MSC specifically for minorities, Miera said. Other types of financial aid are available, however.

MSC also uses a network of more than 200 community agencies to help promote

The old run-around. Every college student has to deal with it. You're told to go here for a signature, there for a form. Get this. Get that.

Well, get this. The MSC Student Affairs office has proposed a sophisticated computer program that will have easy, official, up-to-date information on almost every aspect of Metropolitan State College. It will cover everything from course descriptions to listings of campus clubs.

The system, if approved, will be housed in Central Classroom 107A and could be available by the coming fall.

"A student can get information ranging from available scholarships to who they should see for graduation agreements, and it will even dial that person's phone," said David Conde, assistant vice president of Student Affairs.

The Student Affairs Board is considering funding for the program. If the funding passes, the budget will be established and sent to the college president and Board of Trustees (MSC's governing body) for approval.

Conde said approval should be passed at all levels.

education, Miera said. The agencies include youth groups and recreation centers that refer potential students to MSC. MSC keeps in touch with these organizations through periodic visits and letters.

It is important to go beyond the high school level to look for students, Curtis said, because less than 15 percent of MSC students enroll immediately after high school.

To counter that problem and help prepare students for college, MSC also works with junior high students, Miera said.

Miera said he has talked to thousands of junior high students about the importance of education. That topic is also the subject of a multi-image slide show for eighth-graders.

MSC will host an eight-week program over the summer for eighth-graders, Miera said, to encourage and motivate the students to think about higher education.

"We have to get them young so they can take the right high school classes to be competitive in college," he said.

"So far, the reception for this project has been overwhelming," he said. "This program is so important and so badly needed, I don't see any real obstacles for il" There are two parts to the program, Conde said.

The first is a data base. It consists of the actual computer, a menu-driven touch system. For information, a student is guided with step-by-step directions by touching the screen until the desired information is displayed.

The second part of the program is a selfhelp center, at which brochures, pamphlets, college bulletins, class schedules and other written information will be available.

There will also be a counter staffed by trained personnel to answer questions, Conde said. .

"Hopefully, we can begin remodeling the room, 107A, and begin installation of the computer this summer, and formally open in time for the fall semester," Conde said.

"We need to get this thing going,'' he said.

"Our school has grown faster than our current information systems, and we need to catch up. Our most important goal is to shorten the distance between the student and 0 the service."

Labor pool shortage means.jobs aplenty Lance Wllllamson Reporter

•.

)

•I

,•

Good news, college students. The United States is facing a shortage in the labor pool.

American businesses will have fewer highly trained and educated people available to take jobs at a time when demand for workers will be high, says a recently released report by two CU-Denver business professors.

Raymond Zammuto, associate professor in the Graduate School of Business Administration, and business professor Wayne Cascio co-authored the report on employment trends. The report will be published this fall in The Handbook of Human Resource Management, Volume 2, a state-of-the-art publication for people in personnel management.

"The labor pool has been shrinking considerably," Zammuto said. "(It has been) going downhill since 1980 and will continue to do so, while the job market, nationwide, is increasing and will continue to do so."

The CU-Denver professors aren't the only ones observing this trend.

"I think the demographic.5 show a situation, the baby bust, those following the baby-boomers, which is a work force about one-third as large as the boomers," said Dave Larson, an economist for the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment.

"This trend will force certain labor shortages throughout the nation."

The report says that from now until about the year 2020, the labor pool will continue shrinking, and by 2020 there could be onethird fewer potential entry-level workers.

"It's the entry-level workers, people 16 to 24 years old, that are and will continue to decline in population," Zammuto said. "And they're the ones employers look for the most to fill the positions in their companies."

Larson agreed with the report.

"The baby-boomers are in their late 30s, early 40s, and just didn't have a lot of children," he said. "This leads to a shortage of workers in the real immediate future, and also in the distant future, as there aren't many people now in the child-bearing age."

Besides a lack of entry-level workers, the report cites a combination of such trends as a lower overall birthrate, reduced employment among older men, increasing demand for skilled workers and increasing competition for workers as other reasons for the labor shortage.

So what does all this mean to the college student?

"It means there are going to be more jobs - across the board - than there are people to fill them," Zammuto said. "This shortage is going to hit different parts of the country at different times, but it has already hit the East Coast. The East Coast can't find enough people with educations. I think Massachusetts has an unemployment rate of less than 4 percent."

Zammuto attributes the high job rate to the East's booming high tech industry and its lack of reliance on energy and mineral jobs.

The labor pool shortage is also going to force businesses to change their hiring habits.

The report says when a labor shortage does occur, a greater proportion of available workers will be minorities, who aren't a large proportion of the skilled labor force now, and because they historically have a high birthrate. As a result, companies will have to act now to build relationships with minority communities in order to maintain a

well-qualified, full-strength work force, the report says.

Businesses will also have to actively start courting the country's colleges.

"Smart businesses that need technical and educated people will have to establish ways to get the college graduates," Zammuto said.

"Those ways will include scholarships, internships, cooperative work and research funding - anything they have to do to increase their visibility on the college

campuses."

The report also urges America's businesses to be alert to the needs of women, who are becoming an increasingly larger percentage

of the work force.

"It's pretty clear that to maintain their labor force, businesses are going to have to search for alternative sources or cut themselves out of the labor market," Zammuto said. "And that means employers are going to have to cater to the specific needs of women workers, and more and more women are entering technical training."

The report also stated that with fewer entry-level workers, there will be fewer people bringing innovative ideas to business.

"Research shows that as the work force gets older, there is a loss of innovation and a loss of new ways of thinking and solving

problerRS," Zammuto said. "Aging of the work force population inhibits innovation because the younger worker is not wetted to the ways things are done in the work place, they have their own ideas of how things can or should be done."

So don't despair, some experts do see a bright future for college students.

"It's the young, educated person who has everything to be optimistic about concerning future employment," Larson said. "There really hasn't been as good a time in the past as there is now to be in or graduating from college." o

WEEKLY 't\~tiWJll â&#x20AC;˘

Sleepy days at Metro Dale Crum Photo Editor

On a Wednesday several weeks ago, I had the rare opportunity to sneak past my editor and escape the seclusion of the darkroom, on the premise, of course, that I was going on a photo shoot. I joined the students on the grassy bill in front of the Student Center.

The sun was out and so were the scantilyclothed bodies. I decided to sit awhile.

I was just beginning to doze off in the sun when the tranquility was broken by an amplified, high pitched, tense voice.

"Hey, who here is concerned that the Denver water supply is being poisoned by Martin Marietta?"

I opened my eyes to watch this young protester. After she asked her question, she stepped back from the microphone, as if expecting her words to ignite this college crowd, like a lit match to gasoline.

There was no response.

Approaching the microphone again, she repeated her tense question, but this time louder and with more fervor, as if the problem were that she had not been heard.

"Who here is concerned that the Denver water supply is being poisoned by Martin Marietta?"

The Metropolitan Again there was silence from the lounging students. One woman sitting 10 feet from the speaker raised her hand.

"Only one person?" she asked.

"Only one person on a campus this size is concerned about your drinking water?"

Then in her best scolding voice, she added, "I think your apathy is disgusting, so therefore ... ("Oh, no," I thought to myself, "here comes the punishment.") I refuse to speak to this crowd ... you don't deserve it."

Her fiery words didn't have the effect this young protester desired. Auraria didn't prove to be the powder keg she had hoped for. Her words, instead, had the same effect as a match on water-logged wood.

As she stamped away from the microphone, I expected her to receive a round of applause. But no. The students paid her a double snub. Not only did they not care about the issue in question, they didn't care what she thought about them. The crowd dealt a fatal blow to her admonishments in the finest of Metro traditions - by ignoring them.

I began to see just how apathetic we are on this campus. No one even paid attention to this young protester. She at least deserved to be heckled.

I wanted to approach this small group of "' activists, who were visibly angered by the blatant apathy, and say to them, "Why are you angry? If you had done your homework you would have found that Auraria is not the best place to protest. Please don't feel hurt. Our apathy has defeated greater foes than your little band of outsiders.

"For example, despite the fact that there have been eight indecent exposures, 16 sexual harassments, two third-degree sexual and nine other assaults, two knife assaults and four robberies since January 1987 on this campus alone, only two students showed â&#x20AC;˘. up to a rape prevention seminar on Feb. 20: a reporter and a photographer from The Metropolitan. (Maybe reporters and photogs get mugged more often than normal students.)

"Only 6 percent of Metro's students voted during the recent student elections, and an even smaller number was lured by free ice cream to the Beach Party sponsored by Metro's Student Activities Office. If you want to complain about apathy at Auraria, get in line."

Seeing for the first time the actual depth and strength of the apathy on this campus, I was compelled to act, to do something, anything.

I thought about getting up and gathering the trash left on the bill by the noon-time diners. This is my campus too, and I enjoy it more when it's clean.

I considered going over to the shanty and engaging them in a discussion pertaining to the good and bad of their cause. After all, one doesn't have to look halfway around the world to see racism and oppression. The front lines of racism are under our very noses, and sometimes behind them. Come on, let's get to work right in front of us. Let's make Metro a welcome school for minorities.

What about writing a commentary for The Met? What good would that do? Nobody reads that editorial stuff anyway. What if I asked the editor to put it on the same page as a ¡ Rocky Rococo ad? That way it would at least get seen. Wait a minute, has that been done already?

As I lay there pondering my options, I felt the warm sunshine caressing my face. What should I do first? Suddenly, an idea hit me that was as natural as a spring day.

What I did was in the greatest of Metro traditions: I rolled over and fell asleep in the sun.

-----OP-ED----

Who's right?

Kleg backs starid ~.

To the Editor: I stand by my belief that the act of homosexuality is an abomination. If G-d had wanted us to be homosexuals, he would have created only one sex.

The Bible states that homosexuality is an abomination (Lev. 18:22) . This is the word of the Almighty of which who am I to disagree?

The Constitution of this country gives us the freedom of speech. Mr. (Zak) Zoah has requested that I apologize for exercising that right, so sacred in our society. If Zak Zoah objects to the way our society is set up, he is free to leave our country and set up a homosexual dictatorship which limits personal freedom.

Kleg too biased

·-

To the Editor: While this letter is addressed to Joel Kleg, a senator for MSC, I bel ieve every student should be concerned for his remarks regarding homosexuality.

I feel the fact that I am not part of the gay community at Metro should be made known so that you will not discount my remarks, "because I'm one of your kind ." On April 8, you commented, "They (homosexuals) are an abomination and should not be allowed on the earth." After the statement became known to the public, you tried to justify yourself by commei;iting , "It is my opinion concerning the act of homosexuality," rather than homosexuals themselves. To me, how can you feel so strongly against something if you are to speak for all the students at MSC? You used the word abomination when describing homosexuality, which means vile, shameful, or detestable. Undoubtedly, your biased views will not reflect the ideas of all students, since many of them are either gay or lesbian. You will not give equal opportunity to students because they have a different sexual preference. Did you ever stop to think, why am I "straight"? For every reason you can give, a gay or lesbian can answer for themselves in a justifiable manner. Having a different sexual preference does not affect one's mental or physical facets. This blatantly shows the close-minded attitudes you hold. How can you effectively speak for our student body when many of them are detestable to you?

Therefore, I feel a public apology should be made to Senator (Zak) Zoah and the student body. The matter shol'lld not be kept "just to the senators, " because it concerns all students at MSC, because you are a public voice of the students. Do not try to back out with a low profile, because the damage has already been done. In conclusion , you must begin to accept people for what they are, enjoy their differences - do not count that against them.

Brooke Fields Metro student

Writer has doubts about Kleg To the Editor: This letter is in regards to last week's article in The Met, "Homosexual issues create war in senate." As an MSC senator and member of the Club Affairs Committee, I have had tha opportunity and honor of working with Zak Zoah , mi outstanding senator and citizen.

Throughout the duration of our acquaintance, I have witnessed Zak's ambition, integrity and concern for the rights of MSC students. Zak is quick to fight against injustices, and fight for the rights of gay students and the gay community. Zak does not suffer from the recent disease "apathy," unlike many MSC students (myself included, from time to time) .

Apologize or quit To the Editor: Senator-elect Joel Kleg owes all the students of Metropolitan State College an apology, not just MSC's gay students or senators. His statement of pure bigotry, which singles out one minority group as "an abomination," is a threat to all minority groups on this campus. The U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom of religion, but this also translates as freedom from rel igion.

As an elected official, how can Mr. Kleg serve and represent the complete student body while being j udgmental of one of its factions, however small this faction may be. If Senator-elect Kleg cannot swallow his pride and apologize openly to all MSC students, then he should resign from his office to make room for someone who is more open-minded and thus better able to serve as a senator.

James Arroyo Marla Loulze MSC students

Zak is a senator who worked for and passed through legislation for installation of the condom machines throughout our campus. Zak is a responsible senator, and shows on ly sincere concern for his constiuents: the students of MSC. Conversely, we have Joel Kleg. Kleg a possible future senator, expressed his feelings for homosexuals when he said, "They (homosexuals) are an abomination and should not be allowed on this earth." This attitude not only angers me, but also frightens me. I can't help but wonder how he feels about women, Blacks, Hispanics and other minorities. It frightens me more to think this person could possibly be sitting on MSC's Senate next fall.

Perhaps if Kleg would stop creating typhoons for and in the Senate, while simultaneously shining his own halo, the Senate could get on with business at hand; properly representing the students, all students, at MSC. - Barbara Mariano MSC Senator

D.M.

To the Editor: In Robert Ritter's editorial, "What the hell is going on around here," he raised two points: (1) why can't the Auraria campus be an "island" and (2) the schedule for change.

On the first point, to a large degree Auraria will be vastly changed in that Lawrence, Larimer, 8th, 12th and Walnut streets will all be closed and become campus property.

These areas will be redone. The Lawrence Street and the viaduct will be gone and the total area landscaped . Larimer Street will be redone, creating a nonpublic pedestrianized mall. The only major city street remaining will be Seventh Street. In short, plans for these areas, I believe, will generally

accomplish the design objectives set forth in your editorial.

The timetable is a bit fluid and has been confusing.

Lawrence and Larimer streets are state highways, as will be the new substitute Auraria Parkway. The schedule has shifted a few months to accommodate city and highway requirements. However, the project contract has now been awarded and there is every reason to expect that Lawrence/ Larimer traffic can be shifted to the Auraria Parkway by mid-August.

Much of the road removal and landscaping can, subsequently, be done before next winter.

43 days of protest end

Clockwise from far left: The scene Day 1as snow fell on the shantytown bullders. The scene 43 days later as protesters helped dlsmantle the shantytown. Nadezhka Bolz wipes a tear away. Shantytown vanished and protesters packed up to go home. Protester John Kamby helped carry away cardboard and plywood.

Dave Beech Reporter

Amid cries of "A luta continua (The struggle continues)," the African National Congress flag was lowered from above shantytown April 27 - permanently.

Members of the Auraria Students for Divestment tore down the ramshackle cardboard and plywood buildings after 43 days of protest.

The protesters said the shanties had lost their effectiveness and had failed in pressuring the University of Colorado to divest itself of a $300,000 bond with the Caterpillar Company. Caterpillar does business in South Africa.

"We said all along that the shanties are not the issue. The issue is South Africa and apartheid," protester John Kamby said. '"We felt we needed a new tactic."

The protesters erected the shanties to educate students about South Africa and apartheid, but lately fewer students were stopping by.

The shanties were built March 16 on the Lawrence Street side of the Physical Education building in an attempt to force the CU Regents to vote for divestment.

Similar demonstrations at CU-Boulder ended with the destruction of two larger shantytowns and the arrest of 54 people.

Those protests were marred by tension and violence, including an outburst by students after the Regents voted 7-1 at a March 17 meeting to continue its policy of "selected divestment." That outburst resulted in destruction of CU property.

In contrast, the protest at Auraria was a peaceful and

cooperative venture between the Auraria officials and the students.

"We had a good working relation," said Morgan Smith, executive director of Auraria Higher Education Center.

Smith said the protest could not go on forever and that the protesters had accomplished all they could.

AHEC had provided the shantytown residents with a barbecue grill, security and a fire extinguisher.

The students agreed AHEC was cooperative and that the protest had run its course.

"AHEC would have had to spend its money to move us," Steve Williamson said. "We don't have a quarrel with AHEC; we do with CU." Three weeks ago the proteste~ and AHEC started negotiating to remove shantytown. Both sides agreed to dismantle it after the African Peace Tour~ through Auraria. The tour is an effort to inform citiz.ens about current conditions in Africa.

The students involved said tearing down shantytown was not a defeat but a redirection of their efforts. They hope to soon receive status as a campus club to get money for speakers and lectures.

The protesters also said the shantytown was successful in showing the Auraria campus is not the hotbed of apathy that some make it out to be.

As the plywood and cardboard was being thrown into a truck, Williamson empathized with the blacks of South Africa.

"I feel like Caterpillar has come in and bulldozed my house, and I'm being forced to move out. But at least I have a place to go home to." o

st.

The doorway to CN 21 lA is festooned with red, white and blue streamers. The balloons have long since lost their air, but not their appeal. The poster proclaiming, "Jer' for Chair official campaign headquarters" beckons visitors inside.

And those who notice the flier just inside the office with a picture of Ramses can't help but shake their heads and smile at the promise, "I may be old, but I ain't crazy."

"Jer' for Chair."

That's MSC English professor Dr. Jerry Fenger's campaign slogan for English department chairman.

The position is open because current chair Jan Delasara is leaving the college on sabbatical. Full-time English faculty will conclude elections April 29. The dean of Letters, Arts and Sciences will then make the final decision.

"Jer' for Chair" is not an unusual slogan.

But it is unusual for a candidate seeking a chair position to have a slogan.

But then, Fenger is not the usual teacher.

Not one to deny his own talents, Fenger lets his zest for life reflect itself in his humor - and he is a funny kind qf guy. .

Hailing from Mankato, Minn., Fenger's interest in teaching began in 1963 when he received his bachelor's degree in English and was awarded five fellowships through the National Defense Education Act. Those fellowships enabled him to skip the master's program and go straight into his doctorate.

In return, he had to promise the government he would teach.

In 1974, he earned his doctorate in American Literature, specializing in Mark Twain.

"I don't regret promising to teach. I love to teach. I don't think I'd want to be anything other than a college professor because I'm a natural ham, and I have a captive audience," he says, his smile twitching at his play on words.

Students haven't been Fenger's only audience. In the early 1960s, he worked two years at a local TV station in Mankato. He appeared in two children's programs: "Big Mike's Firehouse," in which he played a custodian named Firehouse Fritz, and "Precinct 12," in which he played a police officer who would introduce Dick Tracy cartoons by calling him in to solve crimes.

"I had my own peanut gallery. We had a fun time trying to keep them (kids) in their seats. I broke them up a lot at the TV station.

I did a lot of tricks," he says.

Some might not think Fenger has much to joke about. For 24 years, the 47-year-old composition and literature professor has had diabetes. If that alone isn't enough, blindness, caused by the diabetes, is gradually creeping in.

"People are always confused with me because I don't look blind. I have what I call an invisible handicap because it can't be seen," he explains.

Because Fenger's eye muscles still work, his eyes move normally. He can see - he drives - but says he must take a driver's

d

Dr. Jerry "Jar' 4 Chair" Fenger test every four years because he can't ~ the eye exam. As his vision worsens, he will be tested more frequently. He can read, but very slowly for short time periods and wiljl heavy magnification.

In his 21 years of teaching at Metro, it wasn't until about four years ago that his blindness became a problem for him profes.:' sionally.

"I was coping badly. I was asking my wife and son to do my quizi.es and papers," he says.

So about a year later, the college provided him with what he calls his "reader-grader,'~ who reads papers, essays, tests, memos, reports and other written material aloud to him.

"Without my reader, I would not be teaching at all," Fenger says. "The college has been sometimes difficult to deal wit~ but with persistence we have been able to come to an agreement, and I'm grateful to be able to stay."

Now Fenger's gratitude has turned into a desire to help his department grow. And he sees himself as the coach and facilitator he says the department needs to get things done~ "I've gone through a lot in my life. But I think that adversity is wasted if you don't learn from it. What is lacking in the department is a feeling of camaraderie, working together - even. the feeling that things are getting better.

"We fail to recognize our potential for growth. I recognize that we're going to have problems, but we need to be persistent," he says.

Fenger's persistence for the chair began about five weeks ago when he wrote his first position paper. He says it was a half-serious, half-comic paper designed to catch people's attention.

"I wrote that one has to be crazy to be department chair, and I'm perfect for that position." :r His second paper is much more serious, ~ says, and his third is "very symbolic."

In addition to publishing position papers, which none of the other candidates have ~

Community College of Denver students are purchasing education wisely by receiving money back guarantees from the school on credit transferability and job competency. . The guarantee, which begins fall of '89, allows CCD students who graduate May 1990 and beyond a tuition refund if the school's credits are rejected by any Colorado college or university.

Graduates will also receive nine free credit hours if any employer say their technical skills are lacking.

"It's a win-win situation," says Dr. Byron McClenney, CCD president. ''Students purchase education with security, enrollment increases and employers and schools get competent, skilled people."

The guarantee targets the estimated 100,000 poverty families in the Auraria vicinity. This group is Denver's future, and without skills, maintaining the system will be difficult, McClenney said.

CCD also offers support services to give students basic skills in productivity such as remedial instruction and development, GED preparation, Veteran Affairs (a group for assisting vet placement) and women's support teams.

"These programs are as vital as the classes themselves," McClenney said.

The guarantee is a direct response to House Bill 1187, requiring Colorado institu· tions of higher education to prove student performance in quality and achievement.

The bill will go into effect July I, 1990.

CCD is ready to declare its support of the bill by being the first in the state to put its name on the line, McClenney said. ''This way, the word spreads, a good reputation follows and we gain frust in Colorado," he said.

CCD's new guarantee is getting a positive response with the Denver public. He said that students successful here will be successful anywhere they go.

Another key to the success of the guarantee is a program stressing the need for higher education set up by CCD with parents of elementary school children.

The program shows parents the facts about higher education and how their children will succeed financially with more than a high school education.

"Statistics prove that a person with a college degree does better," McClenney said.

"You need just look at the figures - people without education are at the bottom of the economic ladder."

McClenney said the guarantee tells people officials have confidence that students can succeed, they know students' money must be well-spent, and this is the best investment students can make in their future. o

If it's Rocky Rococo Pan Style Pizza-thick crunchy, chewy, cheesy, saucy Pan Style Pizza-a piece a person , in other words, a piece apiece is probably appropriate.

That's why Rocky Rococo Pan Style Pizza is available by the slice: That satisfying sizable (V2 lb.) single serving size.

The Slice is unfailingly fresh, fast and filling; a luscious lightening-like lunch; always available almost instantly.

So, when you need to appease a pizza appetite, appease it appropriately.

With a Slice of Rocky Rococo Pan Style Pizza.

There's a good chance that one of your professors bas written a book, and for those of you in an end-of-the-semester panic, this might be an opportunity to grab at extra credit. Just imagine it - "Oh, by the way, professor, I happened to be leafing through your book on conceptual ...."

The Auraria Book Center hosted a celebration of the books authored by the faculty and staff at CCD, MSC, and CU-Denver April 20. Forty-five campus authors were invited to spend the noon hour signing books and talking with students.

The Book Center gave a similar presentation last year, and due to the response, decided to invite ¡more writers this spring.

About 10 authors came, and there was a steady trickle of book-enthusiasts to talk to them.

There are 170 titles by past and present campus authors, and 150 of them are still in print. They are a mixture of text books, novels, field-related volumes, literature for children and young adults, history books and other fiction and non-fiction.

MSC professor Marc Rabinoff is a contributing author of Sports andL<iw: Contemporary Issues and Gymnastics Safety Manual. He specializes in health club standards and the legal liabilities of sports. He has taught for 20 years and is interested in sports law.

"There's nothing like this in the law schools," be said, explaining the novelty of this field. More lawsuits are being filed, he said, creating some very emotional situations.

Metro's Thomas Saville is a psychology professor who teaches stress management and study skills. His book, Don't Swing Harder, Play Smarter, on the psychological applications of golf, was written after he had trouble landing jobs and after requests from published lecture audiences. His first book, Everything You Always Wanted, was something Saville "fell into" while president of the International Psychic Entertainers Association. This book is a how-to on performing magic.

Another Metro author is James M. Poynter, an assistant professor of travel administration. He is a contributing author of Travel Industry Business Management and will soon publish Foreign Independent Tours.

He said the demand for travel industry ,is high.

"There are more jobs than we can fill.

This field is a high employer, and there is a gossibility of making money."

Poynter has owned five travel businesses, and the only one that failed was because he kept vacationing with his airline discounts.

"You have to spend little time traveling, because when you travel, you aren't making money."

Along with teaching, he also consults, writes articles for newspapers and magazines and publishes a travel column for an American paper in the Middle East.

Though Poynter owns two houses in Florida and Iran, he says be won't retire. There are books that he feels need to be written, and he wants to concentrate on corporate travel. He also mentioned a little incentive that keeps him working D "I've made a lot of money."

Jer' 4 Chair/from pg. 14 done, Fenger also proposed that the candidates participate in an issues forum.

"This is the first time we've had an issues forum with the candidates. (And) this is the first election in the 20 years that I've been here that there have been four candidates.

Every other time there were only two," he says. One candidate has since dropped out.

Another first in this election is Fenger's campaigning. He and his wife, Susie, prepared posters and other artwork over spring break and spent two hours one day decorating the office.

"I have to give credit to my wife. She came up with the campaign slogan. Her support bas been invaluable."

And rather than buttons, Fenger has been passing out 2-by-3-inch chalkboards with "Jer 4 Chair" on them.

"When I put the chalkboards in people's

boxes, several people wore them. I thought rd find one defaced or smashed, but I -.., haven't," he says.

Fenger has demonstrated his leadership abilities over the years at Metro: he was the first president of the MSC Faculty Senate.

He also started the drive 10 years ago to have Metro's name changed to Denver State College.

Fenger's life is rich with amusing anecdotes, and he loves to tell them. But sometimes it's not so much the stories he tells as the way he tells them. And when he talks, his enthusiasm is inviting, and his handicap is ..... indeed invisible. That's probably the last thing one notices about Jerry Fenger.

"I think humor is important. We take ourselves too seriously. I don't see myself as any better or any worse than others, and that's D the key to compassion."

Pat R1bd1u and Cathy Van Schwartz star In the MSC Players production of "Sexu1I Perversity In Chicago."

Play's message dated Jim Manuel Editor

"Sexual Perversity in Chicago. "Performed by the MSC Players. Written by David Mamet, directed by Greg Ward. Cast Callen \..

Harty as Bernard Litko; Pat Rabdau as Dan Shapiro; Cathy Van Schwartz as Deborah Soloman; Amy Schreck as Joan Webber.

Performed April 21 through May 8. Thursilay, Friday and Saturday performances at 8 p.m., Sundays 2 p.m. in Arts building Roo~ 271.

Sexual Perversity in Chicago opens encouragingly enough with Bernie telling Dan ... a rollicking tale about a one-night stand that ended with the woman in a flak suit, her hotel room burning and her friend shouting machine gun and explosion noises through the phone.

Bernie is loud and boisterous about his latest conquest and the younger, more demure Dan seems to revel in his buddy's tale of sexual abandon. The two fit conveniently into the roles of big brother and little brother. Dan never questions Bernie too closely about his tales of conquest nor does he ever challenge his friend's obvious disdain for women.

The play revolves around the two men and two women, Deborah and Joan, and r their constant frustration at answering the most over-asked question of the "relationship"-obses.sed '80s - what do women and men want from each other?

However, the play does not take place in the '80s. It is set in Chicago, circa 1976, at the tail end of the sexual revolution and pre-AIDS paranoia. Unfortunately, after the encouraging beginning, the play starts to show its age.

What, in the '70s, were probably somewhat insightful glimpses into the vapid lives of people who couldn't even figure out how ( to keep themselves happy - let alone a mate- now seem to be tired renditions of a tired theme.

Playwright David Mamet's portrayal of the bitter, confused misogynist, Bernie, seems now to be a blurred caricature from any randomly selected piece of pop psychology - i.e. Men Who Hate Women and the Women Who Love Them to any issue of Cosmopolitan.

Joan, the obsessive, overly intellectual, analytical man-hater, is a Freudian's delight.

If she can't have a penis, then by god, no one should - heaven help the man who finds himself too near her while she's pruning the . hedges. And to think, she teaches kindergarten.

Eventually Dan meets Deborah at an art gallery where Deb tries to rebuff Dan's ;IJ( advances by telling him she's a lesbian. He

pauses momentarily, then with a deadpan face asks her if her reason for that is physical or political. That glimpse into Dan's powerful wit convinces the obviously picky Deb that be is the man for her, and they race home to ruffie the sheets.

What ensues thereafter is hardly a revelation about the trials and tribulations of modem day romance.

Dan and Deb go through the usual stages of infatuation and lust, merrily copulating their way to some kind of illusionary state of what, for lack of a better term, they deem love.

Deb, a commercial artist, eventually must deliver the bad news to roommate Joan that she is moving in with Dan. Before we get to this part of the play, we have seen Bernie spending evening after ( evening at home watching television or at the singles bar getting rejected and bad mouthing women.

It is during one ofBernie's sojourns to the singles bar that the play enjoys one of its more humorous moments. He meets his opposite number, Joan, and after being severely rebuffed, launches into a tirade, calling her every insulting name he can think of.

At the end of his tirade, Joan apologiz.es to him for her rudeness.

Joan is not happy about Deb moving in with Dan. Bernie who lives by the credo, "the only way to get laid is to treat 'em like shit," thinks Dan is making a big mistake.

But Deb and Dan are in love. And they are going to be happy. Maybe forever.

But of course, they aren't for long. The almost too predictable break-down in communication occurs. They don't know what they want from their relationship anymore, and Deb moves back in with Joan.

The MSC Players can't be faulted for the play's shortcomings. They do an excellent job performing, and if it weren't for their stellar talent, the play may have been an unbearable bore.

All four players are convincing in their roles, but the staleness of the subject drags the play down.

But several members of the audience seemed to enjoy the play. Perhaps they found a source of identification with the characters or had never been exposed to the various aspects of relationships the play depicts and found it illuminating or reassuring.

But for anyone who has been even moderately exposed to the never-ending wave of books, magazine and newspaper articles, movies and television shows that deal with the ups and downs of the quest for love, the play may be just an occasionally enlightening journey over too-familiar territory. D

five hours after it all began, as the last ball slid into the pocket, Steve Leach was crowned champion of the 11th Annual Coors Light 9-Ball Pool Tournament at MSC April 22.

The scene didn't exactly ring true of The Color ofMoney, Leach doesn't smoke, there was no scotch on the rocks melting on the table ledge and "OJ' Blue Eyes" wasn't smirking his praise through the smoky haze.

But there were stakes. Even though Leach said his schooltime monetary intake doesn't allow for big bets, there was a certain amount of pride on the line.

"I won my first tournament at Metro in 1984 when there were a lot of people heavily favored to win over me. And now, I've won my last tournament," said Leach, who graduates with a journalism degree· in December.

But for a while there it didn't look too good for the MSC Game Room regular, who could probably be considered as much a part of the furniture as one of the tables.

"When Dave (Hughes, third place) and I met, he had me down three games to one, but I came back to beat him four to three," Leach explained. Leach said he had figured it "would come down to us in the final match."

But it didn't. Rusty Steele climbed steadily to the top of the winner's bracket and faced Leach for the title.

if Pool shark Steve Leach gnawed another victim at the 11th Annual 9-Ball Pool Tournam1nt April 22.

"Rusty was without a doubt considered an underdog, and I honestly didn't think he'd be one of my bigger threats. He's improved phenomenally since the first time I took an interest in watching his game," Leach said.

And Steele, who took second place, proved to be a tough match in the final round.

"He had me down three to one, like Dave did," Leach said. "That was probably the only time during the tournament that I started losing my cool." After one bad shot, Leach slammed his $125 cue down on the next table.

"I didn't break it, thank God. I just had to calm down and start winning the games one by one," he said. Leach finally beat Steele out four to three .

"He's (Steele) tough. You can't psyche him out. Some people, they'll lose because they're intimidated. But he's cool. He's confident he can beat anybody, and you need to

do that. The day of the tournament, he ... could've beat anybody.

'I'm glad I don't have to go up against him ~ again, .. Leach said.

Leach's confidence has been boosted by the win, and he says he'll continue to play "serious pool" after graduation.

The Game Room will still be a regular hangout because "I still know people who'll be here and it's cheap to play. It's great atmosphere and a good set-up for a college.

Metro's got a good reputation for good pool," Leach said.

Though he plans to work for a newspaper, he said he would like to eventually write for a magazine like Billiards Digest to cover regional tournaments.

"I want to find out if I can continue to get better, or if I'll reach some plateau. I want to know if I'm a real 'natural,' " Leach said. But it may go further.

"It's always been a dream of mine to own o a pool hall."

Do you feel like part of a compass, walking between North, South and West classrooms?

Perhaps you think you should be wearing a white t-shirt with a Universal Product Code, those funny black bars found on most products.

The Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board wants to change that Committee members Joe Sinew and Daniel Holden are taking suggestions for new classroom building names.

"We want to add some identity to cam-

pus," said Holden, MSC representative to SACAB. "It is a pretty generic campus."

"We want to give the campus feeling," added Sinew, CU-Denver representative to SACAB. "We want to give it history and character."

Sinew said the committee must do research to find the names of those people who helped found AHEC. Sinew and Holden urge students to suggest new names for the campus buildings, Suggestions can be taken to the student government offices in the Student Center.

The final decision will be made by the Auraria Executive Council.

Every Monday afternoon at 2:15 through snow or wind or sleet or hail - he pays his dime and boards the No. 7 bus in Thornton to ensure his prompt arrival for a 6:30 p.m. class in downtown Denver.

John Garcia, 39, bas an IQ of 70.

And in a world where the average intelligence quotient measures between 90 and 110, Garcia goes to college.

Auraria's College for Living (CFL), now in its third year at Community College of Denver, offers developmentally disabled adults opportunities to improve independent living skills by participating in classes like reading, math, arts and crafts, swimming, and cooking.

"It's helping me a lot," Garcia said about his budgeting and banking course. "But when you go to class, you've got to be willing to work and ready to work."

And Friday, April 22, about 60 people gathered at the Mission from 7 p.m. till midnight for CFL's annual dance and awards ceremony, which honored 53 students who were willing and ready to work and who completed courses during 1987-88.

"I want to congratulate everyone who's getting a certificate tonight," Marlene Hall, CCD vice president, told the students. "We're celebrating you."

And campus minister Nelson Bock quoted from Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Rings and jewels are not gifts, but apologies for gifts. The only true gift is a portion of thyself .... We give of ourselves when we give gifts of the heart: love, kindness, joy,

to cry

Sometimes I hate the pain the sorrow the softness But I love the earth the plants the creatures Most of all I love the people the unlovely the different <I the strange They challenge me, upset and comfort me Help me to nourish, to protect and to enourage these special ones.

Amen After the certificates were presented, everyone danced the night away to the Top-40 tunes of Parker Castellano's UN EZ Band.

But according to Patricia Puckett, CFL's coordinatOr and only paid employee, the students' real motivation for attending the dance was to receive their awards.

"They really look forward to the end of the year, to being recognized," she said.

"They get to stand up and receive a round of applause and receive a certificate - it's fun for them."

The students agreed.

Good season ends low Eric Mees Assistant Editor

Even a lousy ending can't put a damper on the great season the MSC women's softball team had in 1988.

The Roadrunners ended the year with three losses in five games at the Kearney State Tournament in chilly Nebraska April 23 and 24.

The team started off hot, winning 12-2 against Concordia (Kan.) and 5-4 in extra innings over St. Mary's of the Plains (Kan.).

But the cold weather took an early toll and froze out the team's three Saturday games.

Star pitcher Brenda Losinski picked up the first win Friday to improve her record to 15-8. But she was forced to leave that game as the cold tightened the muscles in her shoulder.

Losinski also pitched (and unfortunately lost) in two games on Saturday - a onethird inning failed relief effort against the Air Force Academy (AFA) and a loss in a start to Kearney State.

The AFA loss was probably the toughest of the tournament as senior Leslie Durant pitched a close 6 2/3 innings, but Metro lost 10-9.

"It would have been nicer if we'd have beaten Air Force," said head coach Joan Tamblin of the tournament.

Losinski led the team this season with a 15-10 record, two saves and a 3.19 ERA. Durant finished with the strong game against

AFA and the win Friday over St. Mary's to pull her record to 4-5. She had the secondbest ERA at 3.32 and one save to her credit.

The 'Runners finished the year with the best record on, well ... record at 24-21. (The records of early teams were not accurately kept, but as of late ....) It is the team's first winning season in history. More important, though, was the fun of it all.

"Everybody had a lot of fun," said ~ist­ ant coach Joyce Holte. "Overall, we were pleased with the season."

Tamblin echoed Holte's sentiments. She also said she stresses hard work and dedication to the sport - only then can you be successful and have fun. The team rose to the challenge.

All but two players should be returning for next year's team - Durant and catcher Polly Myers won't be around. Tamblin hopes to recruit at least four more players to supplement the team for .,89.

She also wants to move shortstop Nancy Kogle into the pitching rotation. Kogle pitched in two games this year with a 1-1 record. But she was more renowned for her hitting prowess.

Kogle finished with a coup~e of two-hit games against AFA and St. Mary's and a homer against Concordia. She led the team this year in the hitting department with eight home runs and a .410 batting average.

Michelle Hermosillo was second with a .338 average.

"Coaches were coming up to me at the tournament and saying, 'Boy, your program is looking good. It's really coming up,' " she said

Softball is history in '88. Tamblin, though, hopes to carry her winning tradition to women's volleyball (which starts in midAugust). Whatever the outcome, let's be proud of this year's softball team and look to _ the future with hope. o

Spring season successful

As the end draws near, teams fii led with cheer And Helman finally found a bullpen stopper in Mike Scarpella, who bas a 2-1 record and three saves.

The Roadrunners will also feature several returning key players, including catcher Dave Gudridge, who has knocked in a teamhigh 52 RBI and eight home runs.

The biggest improvement for the spring sports teams came from the men's and women's tennis teams and the softball team.

The men's tennis squad finished with a 14-16 overall record, a marked improvement over last year's 6-26 final record. The singles players finished with winning records compared to only one winning record from last season's singles.

Steve Nash, number one singles, took last year off, but returned this year to post a 12-10 record. Jeff Cline, who plays number [ two singles, finished with a 15-6 mark, the 0 best on the team. ~ Cline and Nash also teamed for number ~ one doubles and won 14 of their 17 matches. ~ The Roadrunners closed the season with a g 9-0 whipping of Eastern Montana College MSC's Mika Nussbaum lost only his second game of the year against DU Aprll 25 In the Second Annual Miia High on April 25.

As the semester winds down for students at MSC, the sports season winds down for the school's athletic teams. And surprises are the rule as the spring sports squads demonstrated loads of su~.

The baseball team is right on track. Coach .. Bill Helman predicted before the season began that his team would continue to build on the program's winning tradition.

Things may not be turning to Helman's expectations as they own a 21-20 record with six games remaining in the season. One of those losses includes an 8-4 defeat at the bands of the University of Denver in the Second Annual Mile High Classic. In a way, the win was revenge for the Pioneers, who lost to Metro last year in a 10-2 romp.

Even though the Roadrunners will not ~ equal last season's 34-15 record, there are still several bright spots. First baseman Torin Berge, who hit an astounding .487 last year, is even more astounding this year as he sports a .500 batting average.

Helman also has gotten some surprising help from the young players on the team. f Freshman Rusty Befus has provided power with seven home runs and 40 RBI. The same bolds true for sophomore Mike Nussbaum, ... who shows his power from the mound. He leads the team with a 6-3 record and a 2.83 ERA and 46 strikeouts.
