MSC is paying an administrator $55,000 a year in part to coordinate a program that, according to some past participants, has ~y no educational basis, but rather an emphasis on drinking. David Conde, asmtant to the vice president of Student Affilirs, coordinates a study abroad program that is presented as an opportunity for students to participate in an intensive language and cultural study in Mexico and Central America. However, some past partiCipants said the focus was not on learning, but rather on drinking. One participant, who asked her name not be used, said she learned nothing on the trip, and she did not feel her money was well spent. "It was really a big party," she said. "I didn't go there for a . party." She added, "I would never do it (participate in the program) again." Furthermore, she said Conde and Carlos May-Gamboz, an MSC faculty member and director of the program, drank as frequently and as much as the students. When asked about accusations of excessive drinking, Conde replied: "What students do after hours is their own busin~." Students spend most of their days at historical sites and have their evenings free. Dr. Antonio Esquibel, vice president of Student Affairs, said he wasn't aware of excessive drinking while in Mexico. "How would I be? I'm in the United States and they're in Mexico." When asked about students' claims of minimal education and excessive drinking, Esqwbel replied: "That's their opinion." He added: "I'm a little concerned about what it is you're looking for." Several past participants were contacted, and all agreed the trips involve excessive drinking. "A lot of people go down there just to party," said Solema Neary, who participated in the program in 1983 and 1984. However, Conde disagreed. "It is not a party," he said. According to Suzanne Peterson, a summer 1987 participant, a cooler containing beer, pop and mineral water was kept on the bus at all times, including on the way to the study sites. Therefore, anyone who wanted to drink could do so at any time. Carolyn Cutler, a Boulder County teacher, participated in coordinating the program. Cutler said that although Conde and Gamboa told students that education was to be the focus of the trip, they failed to specifically define their educational goals. Students may receive a minimum of three credits and a maximum of eight credits on the trip. However, it is not clear whether there is a written syllabus, who decides the grades, or how they are decided. "They need to be straighter and clearer on what they're doing," Cutler said.

Furthermore, Cutler said Conde and Gamboa were not consistent in repercussions of students who did not follow the trip's guidelines. "They were not consistent. Students were given too many chances," she said. Expenses are covered for Conde, Gamboa and faculty of the language department that go abroad with the students, and they are paid for their time as well. In addition, Conde is entitled to 20 regular paid vacation

Conde said Tower Travel, the agency that handles the trips, keeps track of financial statements to help k~p costs at

a minimum.

----NEWS---Can Arts students now breathe a little easier? I

Chad Morris Reporter

~

Paint fumes in the halls, classrooms that are too hot or too cold and varying climate conditions that result in damaged musical instruments ... welcome to another day in the Arts building. Since its construction in 1976, the Arts building has suffered from these problems because of one design flaw: the ventilation system. According to Jim Kelly, assistant director of plant operations at the Auraria Physical Plant, more money should have been spent on the building's ventilation. "We'd have a much better building." Instead, the present system does not do what it is supposed to do- clear the air. So the Physical Plant has spent the past couple of months making changes in the system to help it do just that Most of these changes were aimed at eliminating the fume problems in the building. The fumes - caused by materials used in the darkrooms, paint rooms and the platemaking room - should be gone from the hallways by this fall, Kelly

~

~

c

In most cases where fumes were getting into the halls, the Physical Plant solved the problem by connecting the room's light switch to the fans. When a student turns on the lights in the painting room on the first floor or the silk-screening • room, the exhaust fan comes on as well. Fans in the darkrooms now run 24 hours a day, and in the larger rooms the exhaust fan has been re-installed near the - floor. • Kelly said that since fumes from photographic developers are heavier than air, the fumes sink to the floor. The original '-- design of the rooms had the vents near the ceiling, where they provided little help in clearing fumes. However, some rooms, such as the painting rooms on the second floor, were built without fans at all. To solve the problem, fans will have to be installed. Kelly said the money to do this will be sought from the state. Another solution to the fume problem, Kelly said, is for f" students to close the doors in those rooms with such problems. However, if the room's ventilation is not adequate, such as in the second-floor painting rooms, students cannot do this. One concern, expressed by anthropology professor Ken Keller last March, was that these fumes are dangerous to r those who breathe them. This was confirmed by art department chairwoman Barbara Houghton, who said the chemicals students use for photography, painting or platemaking can be dangerous, but students are aware of this. "Artists will always use these chemicals, and artists will "> always leave the doors open," she said.

Students are instructed on safety procedures, but ultimately, it is up to students to decide to use them, she said. "Hyou (the teacher) see someone l;loing something dan· gerous you tell them" Houghton said. ..But if they are alone, it's up to them." Since the fume problem will be solved by the fall, the next air problem the Physical Plant faces is that of musty, stuffy air in classrooms and hallways. This problem has virtually been solved, Kelly said. Extra doses of biocide (a chemical similar to chlorine) have been added to the water in the building's evaporative coolers to kill any bacteria or fungi that could develop and become airborne in the ventilation system. The musty odors were traced to small amounts of algae and fungi in the water. The Physical Plant has arranged to regularly test the water for these in the future. The Physical Plant found that the algae and fungi existing in the water are not a health hazard. Evaporative coolers operate by blowing air through cold water-soaked material (such as corrugated cardboard) and then into the building system. It's like blowing on one's finger when wet, Kelly said. Using the campus's central chiller air plant should solve

another of the Arts building's air problems; classrooms that are too hot or cold. Hal Tamblyn, chairman of the Metro music department, said he has to leave the door open during class to the room from becoming stuffy and uncomfortable. Poor air is also a problem in the teaching and practice rooms on the second floor, Tamblyn said. The windows are double-paned and sealed, the door are insulated and the air vents have sound attentuators on them, all of which render the room sound-proof. However, they also restrict the travel of air through the rooms. Tamblyn said students avoid them because they're so uncomfortable. Turning the chiller plant on earlier in the spring and running it later in the fall should solve the problem, Kelly said, although it will mean slightly higher energy bills for the campus. If chilled water doesn't work in the practice rooms, a return air system would have to be installed. This would pull air out of the room so that fresh air could get in. The cost of a return air system is unknown, but Kelly said

Student Senator Steve Bowen doesn't like paying $38.50 a day for a TV and VCR. Even if the Media Telecommunications Division says $38.50 is a bargain. The division, located in the Auraria Library basement, consists of three departments that operate the campus television distribution system that airs in classroom. Also, it produces videos and audio programs for faculty, and it determines need and provides maintence for equipment. Equipment includes TVs, VCRs, slide projectors, overhead projectors and other audio-visual equipment regularly used on campus. Although there is no charge to those using the equipment for programs funded by the state, rates are charged in two other levels:

full price for non-campus organii.ations, such as lecturers at St. Cajetans; and half. price for grant-funded organiz.ations and recognii.ed student clubs. Bowen complained of the rate charged to his football club last semester for borrowing the equipment for one day. "We thought that was kind of outrageous," he said. "I can get it from Video Exchange for less than that." However, Muriel Woods, assistant director of Media and Telecommunications, believes the rates are fair and up-to-date, according to fee schedules. "We do a study. We don't pull this out of thin air," she said. Woods explained that there is a faculty advisory committee that reviews studies done in the office. The fee schedules are planned according to comparisons of major vendors in town, she said.

For instance, minimum charge for a TV and VCR from Rent-A-Center for one week's $16.99. Woods explained that while TVs and VCRs used at home are seldom moved, a typical piece of Media and Telecommunications used by many people each day from building to building. "A lot of people aren't aware that there is a difference in the quality of the equipment," she said. "The equipment we purchase for campus use is industrial grade. Typically it is more durable and more expensive than equipment for the home market" The equipment is sent through mainte· nance in the department's own shop on a routine basis. The office is part of cu. Denver, but is funded by all school on campus. Woods said the fee schedules are reviewed and updated each year. C!

CoPIRG donation fee system remains the same for 1988-89

MSC Senator Dan Becker

Gabrielle Johnston Reporter

Colorado Public Interest Research Group's (CoPIRG) present fee system for student donations will remain intact after a student senate-intiated referendum question was declared null and void. The decision was rendered May 4 after CoPIRG and representatives from the student senate presented their cases at a hearing April 29. The question, which appeared on the 1988 student election ballot, would have made the system voluntary for students to donate $3 to CoPIRG. However, the Judicial Board disqualified the question due to two violations of election code laws. The first, Law 148, states "all leaflets and/or printed material must be approved, signed, and dated by an election commis-

Tan Fit-

sioner prior to distribution." However; according to Loura Bohlender, chief justice of the student Judicial Board, there is no commission to approve referendum questions, thereby creating a flaw in the system. ''There's a large hole in the whole system," Bohlender said. The second violation was of election code Law 20A, which states that posters and leaflets are allowed outside a 30-foot sphere from the polling booth before and during elections, and that any violation is considered electioneering and is subject to disqualification. The board held that the wording of the question biased the student to vote for it Therefore, the question campaigned for itself inside the polling booth. Ruth Aponte, CoPIRG's chairwoman of the State Board of Directors, said they were happy with the decision. "We are pleased the Judicial Board realized the unfairness and confusion surrounding the election question," Aponte said. Dan Becker, sponsor of the question, said he will reserve comment until he sees the decision in writing, but said, "we'll probably rewrite the petition (question) and g~the required signatures and run it again." Rich Link, who represented the senate at the hearing, said that the senate will appeal the decision. "All they're interested in is the students' money. We'll continue to pursue them (CoPIRG)," he said. o

In addition, Metro is not able to supply funds quickly enough. "The business office cannot respond in a timely fashion to our needs," Conde said. Nevertbeless, Conde said he would prefer the financial statements be kept on campus. "I am very uncomfortable with the statements being at Tower Travel." ' Esquibel said he was not aware financial statements were not available on campus, and said he did not know why they were not Conde spends approximately $1,500 per program in promotional expenses, which includes advertisements, alumni receptions and promotional flyers. He uses Metro's data base to get the names of students who have either expressed interest in the program or who are entering freshmen. For the summer 1988 program,¡ about 2,000 flyers were sent to such students, Conde said. However, many students who are receiving these flyers do not meet Conde's criteria. The program costs an estimated $989, which covers airfare, hotel and ground transportation, airport taxes and other miscellaneous fees. Conde said any profit from the program goes directly into promotional expenses. " We'll be right on the margin this summer," Conde said. He added the program is self-sufficient and receives no funding from Metro. He also said the program is non-profit However, Cutler said she doesn't believe

no one profits from this program. "I don't believe for a second Conde is doing this for nothing," she said. MSC interim President William Fulkerson said he was not familiar with the program, but did say he would chock into it. "I've not seen or heard anything in the audits that would cause concern," Fulkerson said. The program is open to all students, as well as people in the Denver community, Approximately one-fourth of the people who participate are not Metro students. Among the participants for the 1987 program were Conde's mother and stepfather. Conde said they did not pay for the full tuition for the program because they did not participate in all aspects of the program. Despite the complaints about the progratlh most participants said that, in theory, the program is a good opportunity for students ana said it should be continued. However, the same students felt the program needed to be run differently. "The responsibility of the leaders is not being upheld," the anonymous student said. Cutler said she did not know whether the program should be continued as it is now. "Somehow, something is missing," she said "It just lacks the spark." Fulkerson was not aware of complaints, but said if there is a problem with the program, it will certainly be looked into. "I believe if the program is not the quality that students anticipated, we need to take a look at it," he said. o

Student Center takes on Gabrielle Johnston Reporter

The Student Center was transformed into an authentic carnival scene April 28, complete with live bands, life-size cartoon anim.., als, egg walks, and, of course, lots of screaming children. The I 0th annual Family Night, sponsored by Auraria and the Student Activity off!.ces of the three schools, has in past years attracted 4,000 to 5,000 people and was • once again a huge success. Entertainment included everything from live Dixie bands to puppet shows, all of which were met with applause. There was also a modem dance performance, which led groups of nervous young ,.. women to quiet comers in order to go through their routines one last time before performing. The game room, converted into a minicasino, attracted the most attention as people young, old and in-between bet "fun , bucks" at blackjack, five card draw and ... challenge billiards. "Bet now, bet big," rang through the television room as people hurried to place their bets on the rickshaw races. Kelly Espino?.a, director of MSC Special Services turned race announcer, ran films of ~ old-time trotter races and could occasionally be caught giving betting tips to the amateurs. "' Most people attended Family Night for their own enjoyment, but Michele Blasvoic went for other reasons:

"My kids heard about it at day care, so I had to come." But she admitted that wasn't the only reason: "It's something fun that the family can do together." Carnival games were the favorite spot for the children, most of whom proudly held small stuffed animals or giant toothbrushes. Jason Simpkin, 5, whose mother attends Metro, was one of the proud winners of a giant green toothbrush. He impatiently waited his tum at the three-legged race, but was still confident of victory. When asked if he thought he would win, he replied: "Oh, yeah." Another popular spot was jello snorkling, where children chose their favorite flavor and raced to devour it without using their hands. Winners walked away with blue ribhons, but all competitors left with messy, sticky faces and probably upset stomachs. Toward the end of the evening, people started wandering over to the Mission for a beer and more live entertainment. The Mission was not as crowded as on a Friday afternoon, but people were relaxed and con- =-¡ tent as they tapped their feet and swayed their heads to the sounds of"Wind Machine," ..,; a fusion rock band. ~ There is no doubt that everyone who ..J attended Family Night had lots of fun and ~ ~ spent lots of money.

Meir house may gain new home on 9th Street John Gegner Reporter

The Auraria Foundation and local preservationists are racing against a June 1 deadline to save the historic Golda Meir House from the wrecker's ball. Meir, the late Israeli prime minister, lived in the house at 1606 Julian St. from February 1913 to June 1914. Last October, in an out-of-court agreement between the Golda Meir Memorial ~ocia­ tion and the city of Denver, city officials pledged to spare the house from demolition until June 1. In the agreement, if the house isn't moved to a new site by the deadline, the city can level it within 10 days. A victim of two relocations, arson and swastika desecration, the historic one-story duplex sits on steel girders in a park at South Lipan and West Louisiana Avenue. A week prior to the agreement, directors of the Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) voted to proceed with feasibility and planning studies to let the association move the house to the Auraria campus. The Auraria Foundation, AHEC's fundraising group, set a goal of $80,000 to convince the board to commit to moving the house to the Ninth Street Park. The goal represents half the estimated $160,000 needed to move and restore the house. So far, about $45,000 has been raised. Emphasizing the importance of the next 30 days, Morgan Smith, executive director of AHEC, said, "We're gearing up a closing effort to see if we can generate the funds

necessary to convince our board that the project is feasible." Larry Ambrose, project coordinator and AHEC's director ofdevelopment, has enlisted Phil Milstein, a leader of the fight for the 16th Street Mall and the Auraria campus, on the project. Milstein and foundation board members are tapping philanthropic sources throughout Denver in the closing drive. Golda Meir Memorial Association leaders Mel and Esther Cohen, whose efforts have been successful in forestalling demolition, are directing a phone bank, calling the Jewish community, in the final push for funds. Actor Elliot Gould, in town for the April 30 gala Michelob Celebrity Review '88, a benefit for Big Brothers Inc., taped a public service announcement to run on Channel 4 during May in support of preserving Golda Meir's legacy. Golda Meir, born Goldie Mabowehz, ran away from her parents in Milwaukee in February 1913, and came to Denver to live with her sister and her sister's husband in the duplex. Meir attended North High School until June 1914. Denver, in the early 1900s, had become a haven for many tubercular Jewish immigrants who came to the Jewish Consumptive Relief Society Hospital (now the ~itlerican Medical Center) in the hope that Denver's clean air and high altitude would heal them. The Julian Street duplex became a central meeting place for many of these patients, some of whom Meir later described as anarchists, socialists, and Socialist Zionists.

The historic Gold Meir house m1y be relocated to Aunrl1'1 Ninth Streat this summer.

"In Denver, life really opened up for me," Meir said in her memoirs. "I was fascinated by the people who used to drop into (my sister's) home and sit around talking till late at night." Meir said it was during these discussions that she began to formulate and shape her political convictions. She also met her future husband, Morris Meyerson, at her sister's home. Meir returned to Milwaukee, where she completed school and became a teacher. She and her husband then settled in what was Palestine in 1921, and she was prime minister of Israel from 1969 to 1974. She died in 1978. Since August 1982, when north Denver resident Jean May discovered the historic

significance of the house, the future of the duplex has been in constant peril. May saved the house the first time when she learned its owner, the Boys Club of Denver, planned to bulldoze it to make way for a tennis court. In April 1982, the house moved from Julian Street to Habitat Park, on the west r bank of the South Platte River, just south of West Alameda Avenue. Several restoration plans collapsed, and the house was moved again to its present location in Sanderson Gulch Park in July 1985. In February 1987, the much-traveled duplex won a last-minute reprieve when • Denver District Judge Clifton Flowers issued a temporary injuction preventing the city from demolishing it. •

Dear Mom! Well, Mom, what can I say. Only a couple more days, just a couple more, and then, well, I guess I'm finally gonna reach that educational plateau. You know, the one that really gets you ready for the "real world." Yeah, that world. The one with fast cars, even faster women, not to mention the whole linear concept of time, place and the almighty dollar. If I had it all to do over again, I would probably take a couple more years than I did. So much fun, so much to learn, so many people to see and feel and, yeah, well, maybe a few too many pitchers of beer. But "what the hey." If there was some way to measure what has happened, some way to show you it was all worth it, I guess I could only offer an Easter lily' or something. You know, the kind of flower that keeps on blooming, and gets a little prettier each year.Yeah, that one. For your information you, well of course you too, Dad, you were always there, thick and thin, biology and history, A's and Fs, even those extended gaps between the college years, they're all coming out OK in the collegiate wash. Now, I just want to offer something in return: a little A-plus in love, thankfulness and a bit of wonderment at that deep economic pocket that helped out during the hard times. These days are for you two, enjoy them. I know I will. Pat!

In the 1880s, two speakers' names guaranteed an evening of incomparable entertainment: Mark Twain and Robert Ingersoll. Ingersoll (1833-1899) was perhaps America's finest orator in the 19th century and was revered by such men as Thomas Edison, Clarence Darrow and Walt Whitman. We in the 1980s, thanks to the brilliant re-creations by two fine actors (Hal Holbrook and Roger Greeley), can still enjoy t~e incomparable entertainment of Mark Twain and Roger Ingersoll. Hal Holbrook recently performed in Denver, and Roger Greeley will perform "An Evening with Robert Ingersoll" at the Arvada Center for the Performing Arts on May 11. Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) was himself an ardent admirer of Ingersoll: "Of all men living and dead I love Ingersoll most!" Ingersoll is "forgotten" today largely because Christian groups have burned his books and coerced libraries to remove his "blasphemous" books. During these times of born-again religious fervor, it has often been remarked, "Oh, if onlv Colonel Bob Ingersoll were alive today!" No~ thanks to Roger Greeley, Ingersoll, the "Great Infidel," will live again for Denver audiences. "An Evening with Robert Ingersoll," performed by Roger Greeley, is scheduled for Wednesday, May 11, at the Arvada Center for the Performing Arts, 6901 Wadsworth Ave. One performance only at 7 p.m. Tickets: $7.50.

It's a class on wheels Lance Wiiiiamson Reporter

"Classroom or hall?" the student asked. "Hall, of course," the teacher replied. "I thought so," the student affirmed. And so it goes for computer and management science professor Judy Barlow at 5:30 each Tuesday and Thursday afternoon before her Expert Systems in Business class meets. CMS 490 was assigned a classroom at the beginning of the semester. There was, however, a ~mall problem. "There is no computer available for us in the North Classroom building," Barlow said. "You can talk about it all you want, but we're solving problems and doing projects, and to do this practically, we have to have access to a computer." Not to let small problems interfere with her work, Barlow solved - so she thought - her computer problem. "We have these computers on carts," she said. "Every (class) day, I just pushed a computer from here (W~t Classroom) to the North Classroom building. Well, that just wasn't working out, especially while it was snowing. There are no chains on those

cart tires. Plus, it was only a matter of time until the cart and computer tipped over while crossing the street." So, still forging ahead, Barlow decided to hold class where she had access to a computer. "We meet in the hall outside the computer department," Barlow said. "We wheel our cart into the hall and wham, instant classroom." It is a bit unorthodox to have class in a hall, but Barlow said she exhausted all her options. "I have begged for a room with a computer," Barlow said. "I have gone through all the official channels and haven't had any luck. This was my last resort. "It's not so bad, and my students have made the best of it. I have exceptional students, and they just put a little humor in it

receiving tonight, that's why rm not in my sitting-on-the-floor clothes," she told her class. The class was, as Barlow said, quite humorous about the situation, and casually made jokes during the hour. "You don't need to duck," one student told the computer department chairman as he walked under the projected computer screen on the wall. "You're too short anyway." Though they make light of the situation, some students have serious thoughts about the problem. "They have this huge, expensive new bwlding," said Mark Seevers. "But thev couldn't put in a few computers for us." "It's ri-dic-u-lous," said Jeffrey Kipnis. "We pay all that tuition to sit in the hall. But actually, we've made the best of it, and it's been fun having class in the hall. It's really

all."

During a recent class, Barlow's students indeed made the most of their unusual classroom. Some had chairs, rome stood, some sat on the floor. Others sat on tables that were stacked in the hall. Barlow, in skirt and blouse, sat on the floor. "I won an alumni achievement award I'm

opened things up. In reality, the work we do is really technical, and this way we have brought some lightness and humor to the computer field." Though it won't help this semester's students, administrative officials said the computer problem should be corrected by next term. "There is a closet in the North Classroom i where we are going to put a portable computer, as soon as we get one," said Barbara Duckworth, who schedules classroom assignments. "It's been an uoforunate situation, but once the semester starts, it's extremely difficult to move classes. Plus, the 5:30 spot they are in is the prime time of the day, and we just didn't have anywhere to put them." So, for the last few classes, Barlow's class.will be meeting, of course, in the hall. o

ACES plans program expansion for next year equipment, the budget should be reduced. "We're still in the infancy stage. We don't know how much we're going to grow. But once you're at a certain point you don't need more equipment. Five years from now I don't expect our budget to grow because of equipment needs," Beaver said. Morgan Smith, director of Auraria Higher Education Center, says that he has received positive letters about ACES. "I think they have worked hard covering campus events such as the PANDA games.

MSC-Coors partnership has many benefits on tap Renee Allen Reporter

Colorado businesres and corporations are becoming quite an asset to MSC. Philanthropic partnerships between corporations and universities are valuable resources to not only the universities and corporations but also to entire communities. In 1987 MSC received $66,000 from corporate donations. The Adolph Coors Company started the ball rolling with a large donation, followed by smaller donations from other companies. Marvin "Swede" Johnson, vice president of corporate affairs at Coors, said his company is ready to support MSC for the "long haul." "ff we can take the lead role, maybe we can get others to follow," Johnson said. In 1986 Dr. Paul Magelli, then president of MSC, approached Johnson with a broadrange proposal for a philanthropic partnership between MSC and Coors. "He (Magelli) said we had never been a team player with Metro, and since we were working for a lot of the same goals, we should be," Johnson said. Since then, Coors has donated over $50,000 to the college and has sponsored a variety of different exents with MSC, such as the MSC Homecoming, the college's 21st birthday party and the chili cook-off on the Auraria campus July 3 to benefit the Mile High United Way.

But maybe the most important of the . programs Coors and MSC are sponsoring is the Ambassadors in the Schools program. The Ambassadors program is designed to identify minority students in Denver public high schools who have college potential, but who might normally drop out of high school and to encourage them to graduate from high school and to go on to college. "What really appealed to us was the network for minority students in Colorado. We felt the match between Coors, DPS and Metro was a good one," Johnson said. Currently the Ambassadors program is working in 10 Denver public schools. Six students from each school participate in the program: two seniors, two juniors and two sophomores. These students receive tutoring, counseling and general guidance and support from 11 MSC teacher-education student ambassadors throughout the school year and in a summer bridge program. The six-week summer bridge program enables the senior students to focus on academic improvement in preparation for attending college. These students then receive four-year scholarships at MSC. Recently, Johnson and Sandra ReXtoat, director of grants and sponsor projects at MSC, presented the Ambassadors program to the American Association of State Colleges and Universities in Washington D.C. as an example ofcorporate university partnerships. "We shared a successful industrial university cooperation with other colleges and universities that are dealing with the same problems we are, hoping to get these type of programs going," Rexroat said. Coors donated $50,000 to the program in 1987 and has pledged another $50,000 for 1988 and will continue to support the program by hosting an event every spring to raise money for the program. Since Coors donated the money to MSC, other corporations have followed suit. Burlington Northern donated $5,000, Atlantic Richfield donated $5,000, Martin

.. "Both bualnm 1nd university benefit from these p1rtnershlps. If buslnas succeeds, 1due1tlon dou 1lso," said Harry Gl1nneschl, MSC vice president of lnstltutlon1I Adv1nc1m1nt.

Marietta Data Corporation donated $2,000, and there have been numerous private donations as well. "We think the whole program and idea of corporate university partnerships is tra~ portable to other companies, colleges and communities," Johnson said. Harry Gianneschi, vice president of Institutional Advacement at MSC, said philanthropic partnerships help the colleges, corporations and entire communities. He said that colleges and corporations need to

start getting together and joining hands to solve the problems communities are facing. "Both business and university benefit from these partnerships. ff business succeeds, education does also. A good economic climate promotes education, and by the same token businesses can't ~bly succeed without educated people," Gianneschi said. "Our communities have to start sharing their expertise and resources for the greater o good of the community," he said.

On the road again/from pg. 6 After the October reprieve, Ambrose said it was a "serendipitious" occasion for AHEC and the Golda Meir Memorial Association to get together, and that it was totally appropriate for the Meir house to be located on the Auraria campus. Auraria plans would locate the duplex, similiar to other tum-of-the-century structures of the original neighborhood, on an extension of Ninth Street Park west of the Arts building. Relocation and restoration of other historic structures along the west side

of the extension would complete the-park. According to the plan, the Meir house would be part museum, with the remaining space used as a community meeting place, a clas.5room or an office. "I've always felt this small, humble house stands as a weighty symbol of world peace, diplomacy, freedom and histor)(," state Rep. Pat Schroeder said in a letter appealing to the Auraria Board to let the house be located on campus. o

Student prez: enough already!

TO ALL

-'

To the Editor, I wish to formally thank the students for voting for the DeWitt/Sagara campaign for president and vicepresident of Metropolitan State College. We plan on giving the students of this college superior leadership and representation. As most of you know we won the election by only 34 votes, not a substantial amount but nonetheless a victory. But this victory has been a bittersweet victory as there are several people on this campus that would like to trash our constitutional privilege to vote for and elect our public officials on this campus. That's right, on this campus we have a lynch mob, and if you don't like that term call it a witch hunt. The lynch mob consists of a Ms. Lois Kaness and a Mr. Zak Zoah, both Senators who believe that officials elected by the students of this campus should not serve in office because of some sort of twisted personal vendetta that they have against us. That's right, these people have lodged numerous complaints and protests that are totally without merit whatsoever. The only purpose that we can see from these numerous unwarranted and unsubstantiated complaints is to waste our time, election committee and Judicial Board members' time. We

think that these Senators are guilty of dereliction of 路duty and are failing to represent the students in a fair and impartial way. We also feel that if they were working for the students as they should be they would not have the time to pursue such a vigorous witch hunt to remove us from office. So, in conclusion, we urge the 400 or so of the students who voted for us to fight for their right to vote on this campus. We want you to take a moment of your time and write to Ms. Lois Kaness and demand that she cease this unwarranted abuse of processes. We want you to tell her that the DeWitt/Sagara ticket is above reproach and they proved that when they cleared themselves at the election committee hearing. We want you to tell her to get back to work and call the lynch mob off. We want you to tell her that you voted for the DeWitt/Sagara ticket and you don't want your constitutional right to vote trashed. Write Ms. Kaness in c/o Associated Students of M.S.C. at 1006 11th St. Denver, CO 80204, or you could even call Ms. Kaness or Mr. Zoah at 556-3253. Thank you for your time.

Apathy-buster (Tr>

To the Editor: I am surprised at the furor that has resulted from Joel Kleg's comments regarding homosexuality. Apparently we have discovered an issue that MSC students are not apathetic about! There seems to be a consensus among those who wrote to The Metropolitan last week that gays are members of a minority in the same way that Blacks and Hispanics are. However, there is an element of choice about being gay that distinguishes it. While some gays might say, "I was born that way," there are those who have turned away from homosexuality. Isa man who has given up having sex with other men still gay? I think not. It is the practice of homosexuality that makes a person gay, and not his or her urges. We have all been tempted, though perhaps in different ways and amounts. Mr. Kleg has discovered that speaking in support of God's laws tends to be costly. This is because God's thoughts on this issue are at once crystal clear, hard to comprehend , and not necessarily what people want to hear. According to the Bible, God despises homosexuality but loves homosexuals, just as much as he loves Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Blacks, Hispanics, women, or anyone. This profound but all-important subtlety seems to have been largely lost on the more vocal members of the student body. Some of you reading this will say, "How closeminded!" I only seek to please God, who is supremely open-minded about people, but close-minded about actions. But don't take my word for it - go straight to the Source yourself.

Steve Kator MSC student and Assistant Professor, Electronics Engineering Technology

To the Editor: Thanks for a fine job of reporting the controversy in the MSC Senate raised by the comments of Senator Joel Kleg regarding the sexual orientation of fellow Senator Zak Zoah. The article highlighted the problem of prejudice, which continues to find many forms of expression in our society, and the need for us all to be vigilantin safeguarding the civil rights of all people. I was deeply offended by the remark attributed to Mr. Kleg; I also deeply appreciated his willingness publicly to clarify his position and apologize to Mr. Zoah for the injury caused to him and the homosexual community by that remark. Zak Zoah is also to be commended for the civility and restraint he exercised in re ponding in such a way so that the conflict could be resolved rather than escalate into a bitter feud. Again, regarding the reporting, I only wish you had not used the word "war" in the headline, which I feel does an injustice to the people involved and the nature of the conflict. To use that word in a rather sensationalizing manner serves to further desensitize us all to the terrible realities of what real war is. elson Bock Aurarla United Ministry

A 'golden' article To the Editor: Peggy Raab's article " Fool's Gold" was a golden contribution to The Metropolitan. As a male, who is not unattractive myself, I can empathize with Peggy's frustrations of finding people on campus for "dating purposes." The precious few women I find myself attracted to each semester are either married/engaged or are running away too fast for me to catch up with them. Hang in there, Peggy. Any man in his right mind would be delighted to spend time with a person as intelligent, perceptive and witty as you. Ted Penberthy MSC student P.S. I included my phone number because it's sometimes required in letters to the editor. Needless to say, I wish you wouldn't print it. (It's OK if Peggy wants it, though!)

Foreign students offer

'YHELP

a diversity of opinion

Peruvian student Ines Guevara originally intended to go to Metro for a year and then transfer to CU-Denver. However, it didn't tum out that way. Sitting amid the student-built campus shantytown, the 21-year-old freshman said she changed her mind when she found out about CU's investments in South Africa. She doesn't want any of her tuition going there.

So Guevara hopes to finish her nursing degree at Metro and try to find a job in the United States. She would like to return to Peru someday,• but right now the country is very unstable and unsafe, she said. "I don't want my children to grow up there." America has more opportunities and offers more rights to citiz.ens than Peru, she said • The way oflife here is more attractive to her as well. People are more willing to accept people for what they are here, she said. Though she never attended college in Peru, she went to high school in both America and Peru and said there is a big ;x difference between the two. The American high school system makes getting A's easy. In Peru, multiple choice and true/false tests don't exist, only essay exams. So students must really know the subject in order to pass a class. If they don't do well, " they must repeat the subject over until they do, she said.

One might think the problems between Homayoun Birangi's native Iran and the United States would bother him, but they don't. "It doesn't affect me. It's between the governments- not me." Birangi, 31, came to America 4¥.i years ago because it had been a custom "since before the (Iranian) revolution" for Iranians to come here to study. After he completes his electrical engineering degree, be plans on taking one year of practical training and then returning to the University of Colorado at Denver for his master's. He said be will eventually return to Iran because the opportunities are better there for him - but not until the war being waged with neighboring Iraq has ended. "It's a stupid war. No reason for it." Though his country's dilemmas don't

Homayoun Blr1n11t trouble him, here in America, some things • - like money - do. He said things cost more here than in Iran, making life difficult for a student. Birangi said although students here are pressured more to get good grades, the 1 schools are much like Iran's.

Mlryam Wiiey About the last thing a person would call a city like Denver and a downtown commuter campus like Auraria is quiet. But that's what MSC senior Miryam Wiley says she likes best about Metro and Denver - it's quiet and peaceful. "I come from a city of three million," she says, "and in Brazil things aren't as organized as they are here, so it seems more hectic." Wiley first saw Denver in 1982 when, through Partners of the Americas, an

international- organi7.ation that works to establish cultural bonds between countries, she arranged an internship at television station KWGN. ; Her first night in Denver, she met Bruce Wiley at a dinner. One thing led to another and now they're married A former television journalist in Brazil, she plans on resuming her career in Denver, though she says she wants to try print: journalism now. Wiley doesn't have much trouble with the language because she studied both English and French in Brazil. But she says her classes, especially those taught by journalism professor Greg Pearson can be hard. , The biggest difference between the United States and Brazil is the mobility of the people, she says. "In Brazil, people don't move away to retire. Even if they move away to work, they come back home often to stay in touch with . their families and friends. Back there we~ have real extended families. I mean, I knew my aunt's cousins"children." o

10th Annual Tournament of Champions

Special athletes perform l).

Elizabeth Rees Reporter

An apprehensive look replaced the smile on 6-year-old Cari Zimmerman's face as she ., gaz:ed into the depths of the Auraria swim• ming pool. Cari, who attends Fulton Elementary School in Aurora, is the middle daughter of seven children born to Mr. and Mrs. Gary Zimmerman. She has blond hair and blue eyes that peek out from behind thick lenses, .. and is about 3 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 35 lbs. Cari, a victim of cerebal palsy, doesn't like to get her face wet; yet she swam in the pool April 29, much to her parents' delight Cari was one of nearly 300 physically "' disabled children competing in swimming and track and field events during the 10th Annual Tournamet of Champions sponsored by the MSC physical education and re reation department, and several organii.ations, along with private donations. The day-long event was coordinated by ~ Mary Ann Loeftler of the MSC physical education department She and students in one of her classes work for a semester to make SUie this day of competition takes place-a.llllle special children. "These children are physically disabled, ~ not mentally retarded," Loefiler explained. "They don't participate in the Special Olympics." .,. Loefiler said this is the only statewide competition offered to these children. Some of the children attend special education

classes while others go to regular classroom situations. Children ages 6 through 19 competed in track and field events in wheelchairs, on crutches and with walkers. Students with vision disabilities had guides. The events included an obstacle course for children in wheelchairs, foot races for children with partial paralysis and a frisbee toss for the visually impaired. These students followed voice commands for guidance in the accuracy part of the contest. , For their accomplishments, the competitors received nbbons and certificates, plus the thrill of competition. Ray Lutz, a physical education instructor at Horace Mann Junior High School in Colorado Springs, brought 12 children to Denver. Lutz said his students compete against themselves. Before they get to the competition, he times them in the different events, and when they arrive, they attempt to beat their qualifying ti.tµes. The Tournament of Champions maintains the thrill of competition by grouping the contestants against others with the same disability. Two young men who represented Horace Mann did very well and even said the events were too easy. Tony Cole, 14, of Colorado Springs, was able to maneuver his wheelchair through the obstacle course fast enough to win a blue ribbon. After Cole's victory, he said, "It's hot and the course was too easy. They should make it harder next year."

Two Tourn1ment of Ch1mplon competitors gear up for the big nee.

Yun said, as he raced another classmate down the track on the way to lunch. The parents watching their children compete were extremely supportive of the Tournament of Champions. "It's pretty good for the kids," said Karen Sandoval, as she watched her son Zech Romero try his luck in the frisbee toss for the visually impaired. "H they didn't have this, they wouldn't have any motivation." Romero's grandmother, Flora, agreed. "It gives them something to do." As things wound down on the track, competition was strong in the pool. The swimmers were oblivious to the lunch lines outside the poo. They wanted to show their stuff in the water. • Compassion and love were evident at the pool. So was confusion. Because no signs were posted, parents didn't know where to take

their children. Garv Zimmerman offered to take three little bovs into the men's locker room for their mothers. In return, the mothers watched his three youngest children - an infant and two toddlers - daughter Cari was about to compete. When Cari splashed into the water, a look of pride swept over the elder Zimmerman's face. "Cari has cerebral palsy," Zimmerman sa,id. ''She has low vision with 20 percent in her left eye and 40 percent in her right eye. She has muscle weakness on the left side of her body and her left leg is shorter than her right. But she has a happy outlook on life." As his daughter swam with the aid of a guide, Zimmerman cheered. "Good girl, Cari!" he yelled. "She's afraid of water." D

Closing the door on the evening twilight, he apologized for the close quarters.

The comfortably furnished living room and den are caverns of creativity - bars of handwritten music, copies of plays, and notes of work to do take up nearly all the available table space. Sonny Wasinger is a busy man. But he is doing what he wants, and he keeps reaching. His creative mind stretches far beyond his small apartment's walls and he smiles when he speaks, his eyes sparkling with dreams. A native Denverite, Wasinger has made a name for himself as a playwright, director, actor, composer, singer, musician and writer in the Denver arts community. The oldest of eight children, he said it took a long time for his parents to accept him as an artist. "I was given a hard time," he said. "I was called an idiot." A Vietnam veteran, Wasinger graduated from MSC in 198 l with degrees in music and theatre. He served as president of the MSC student government and credits the school with much of his success. "I had a great experience at MSC," Wasinger said. "I've gained a name for myself, but Metro takes the credit." In particular, he singles out music profeswr Vern Moody and theatre prof~r Bob Coulson. "Vern Moody gets a lot of ~he credit," Wasinger said. "I love the guy. He's the finest teacher I ever had." Moody first introduced Wasinger to theatre through the opera, and Coulson took it from there, instructing him in acting and directing. "I've been in ie;,.tre ever since," Wasinger 5 ili said. Wasinger has written and directed two plays that premiered at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, and has written several others, not yet produced. "I'm lousy at marketing," he explained. "I like to create." Wasinger also enjoys performing and has sung the lead roles in productions of Don Giovanni and Man of La Mancha. He appeared on NBC's ''Today Show" as Wyatt Earp. One of his most exciting stage experiences, he said, was conducting tfie Denver Symphony Orchestra at Boettcher Concert Hall as an MSC conducting student. Wasinger is also co-owner of The Games Afoot, a collaboration of Denver's top writers, producers, directors and performers of live "murder" mysteries. The KIMNradio Mystery Trains and last year's "Malice at the Palace," played out at the Brown Palace Hotel, have been notable Wasingerled events. He co-owns the business with his best friend, Joe Abramo.

Playwright and MSC alum Sonny Wnlngar "Acting, playwriting, the performing arts - it's become a way of life for me," Wasinger said. "I like what I do." His sense of responsibility extends beyond the obvious. "When I create something, I always ask myself, 'What's going to turn the audience " on?' Because without an audience, what do you have? You don't do it just for yourself - you do it for the applause - look at all the broke actors. They're doing it for the wonderful feeling they get when people respond - when they laugh or cry. "It's a form of communication that goes deeper than conversations. Sometimes there's a moral, sometimes it's just an experience!:>' But the experience should be very human, very real, and you should get to know people and understand their motives. J "In Twelve Angry Men (see accompanying review on page 19) we get into that. Maybe you don't find the truth; you might not ever know the truth, but you delve into it. "The bottom line is, was it enjoyable? Was the audience entertained? Were you drawn in for these two hours?" W asinger's fierce dedication to the quality of Denver theatre has him set on staying here - at least for ftow. "I've thought about going to L.A. or New York, but I like it here; this is my home," he said. "And there are some great performers > here - they are not in L.A., they don't have an agent, but they've been working in this business for 20 or 25 years. They are as good as the Henry Fondas and whoever else." But Denver isn't what he would call a cultural town, he said. "The arts as a whole are often overlooked or just ignored," he said. Less-than-attentive regard for the smaller theatres in town bothers Wasinger, and local critics' reviews often support his views that the affiuent in Denver believe the DCPA is -~ the only place in Denver where one can find theatre. "There is outstanding talent in Denver," Wasinger said, "as good or better than the DCPA. But it is by and large ignored by the socially elite. The majority of actors working there (at DCPA) are not from Colorado." But Wasinger keeps at it, working long and hard for his successes, happy with the life that he has chosen. Sitting at his kitchen table, his hand trails across his now-bearded chin, and a smile plays on his lips. Always another thought, .._ another idea. He keeps dreaming. Someday, maybe the Pulitrer Priz.e for Drama - it could very well be his. But will Denver notice? o

Mass c·o nfusion symbolizes love relationships in the '80s

Barbara Mariano Reporter

(

'Tis the age of mass confusion, to be sure. What I'm referring to is the current social issue, i.e., dating practices of the "enlightened" '80s. Personally, you see, I really get confused by men. Especially the ones I really like. Their pledges are true blue, promises of forever, (or at least for awhile, which isn't half bad these days) and sincere passionate love. Blah, blah, blah! You know, when I think of all the schmucks I have gone out with in the last year, I can hear Madge in the old Palmolive commercial saying to her loyal customer, "You're soaking in it now!" Well, I feel like I've been soaking in schmucks for a lifetime. Or at least a year. But what's the difference when you're young? To ease the heartbreak of a love affair gone bad: I say to myself, "Oh well, he wasn't my type anyway." Sadly, nine out of 10 times it's true. Take Mr. Currently. He's tall, dark, handsome and borderline literate. What more could a "gurl" want in a Rockysounding thug from Chicago? Well, one thing she wants is that mag-

nificent phone call. You know the one. The one where he calls and says with a tear in his deep, dark voice: "Aw doll face, sorry for not callin'. No! Really! I was such a fool. See, I was scared cuz you was perfect for me. A real gem, alright. Baby, you really touched me, like no other woman ever 'as before. I want you, so whad ya' say? Uh?" Well, in my wildest dreams I would be able to say, "Drop dead, you jerk-off fool! What kind of bimbo do you think I am?" (Yikes! What if he answers?!) Inevitably, however, I reply with a romantic song in my voice, "It's alright. I understand. 1-1-1- think I love you, wild thing." The answering machine sits without blinking, clearly indicating, "No calls, Bimbo," so I smoke another cigarette and contemplate other reasons for his nonexisting call. "Maybe he lost my number! Yeah that's the ticket!" Naw, that one doesn't cut it. I remember he knows where I live, and eVeh where my bed is. "Unless he hasn't recovered from his Saturday night oblivion when he left Sunday!" OK, I realize these flaky conclusions are just not cutting the mustard, and not making me feel any better. It must be the time to tear into myself - yeah, that's gotta be the ticket. While examining my body, I'm certain it has to do with my new-found cellulite (that lovely French word means FAT) on what used to be called my "voluptuous" thighs. Maybe it was because of my freshly laid and matted hair look the morning after. Whatever the case, I am indeed massively confused. I mean, I wouldn't have done "it" if I knew "it" would have turned out like this. Like nothing. Like love in the '80s. Oh well, he wasn't my type anyway. D

The topic is Shakespeare. Picture yourself enjoying stimulating conversation, drinking wine, and eating cheese and crackers with a small group of people. This setting is appealing to at least 12 students on the Auraria campus. If it sounds good to you, you may want to check out the Shakespeare Club. Sue Morgan, a junior English major, sent out questionnaires last fall to English classes to determine student interest in the club. The question of "to be or not to be ..." was answered shortly thereafter. "We needed at least five students to be recognized as a club. We now have l 0 MSC students and two UCO students," Morgan said. Fans of the author love to go to performance ofShakespearean plays. For instance, they have viewed a video of Macbeth in the Auraria Library and have seen the Second Stage theatre company's performance of the play.

Some of their ideas include selling T-shirts with Shakespearean quotes on them. In addition to viewing videos, they are planning to attend the Boulder Shakespeare Festival this summer as a group. The festival begins with A Midsummer Night's Dream on June 28, Hamlet on July 16 and Titus and Andronicus on July 29. Most of the members are English majors or theatre arts majors, but they hope to recruit more people from the campus and community. As a group, the club offers another avenue to learn about Shakespeare in a non-classroom situation. "People take Shakespeare too seriously. He did write a lot of humorous plays too," Morgan said. "Our club enjoys his work. In the summer, we will solidify more as a group wd plan for the fall."

Competition helps student hi striving for her success Elizabeth Rees Reporter Ruby Dudley is living proof that you're never to old to go to school. A mother of four, Dudley, 42, was widowed in 1973. Since then, she has raised her children, remarried and acquired a new family. Yet none of this has quelled her dream to graduate from college. This soft-spoken, humble woman graduated with a human service degree from MSC in January 198~.

"I've applied to the University of Denver Law School and I've been accepted," Dudley said. "I'm planning on going to graduate school." Because of her diligence in and out of the classroom, Dr. Joseph Sandoval, chairman of the MSC criminal justice department, nominated her for the National Collegiate Criminal Justice Awards (NCCJA), which is sanctioned by the United State Achievement Academy based in Lexington, Ky. Sandoval says the organization is similar

to "Who's Who," and offers scholarships to its recipients. "Using GPA as a criterion, I came up with a list of students," Sandoval said. "We might as well allow these students to compete for the scholarships they award." The USAA awarded Dudley a certificate of achievement based on her GPA, citizenship, leadership and the example she has set for the students of Metro. This gives her the national recognition she says she needs for scholarships and acceptance into such schools as the University of Denver. "(The certificate) came in a plain envelope and it looked like junk mail," Dudley said, acknowledging that "it looks good on a resume and on an application. It had an influence on the University of Denver." Dudley minored in criminal justice at Metro and says she was more interested in criminal justice as ·a student. "I was influenced by my brother (recently retired Denver police division chief) Casey Simpson. I must have been lO when he became an officer." At one time, she wanted to be a social worker, but now becoming a prosecuting attorney is more appealing. Dudley has worked for AT&T as a longdistance operator for 22 years. She was awarded a Mountain Bell scholarship for two years, along with a Presidential scholarship from MSC, now she wants the NCCJA scholarship and the Communications Workers of America scholarship.

Since she's remarried, she is raising three more children, ages 8, 11 and 12. She knows the time, effort and money law school requires. She has enrolled in two reading c~ at CCD to brush up on her reading skills and to keep her student status. She doesn't want to pay her student loans until she's out of law school.

son," Sandoval said as he shared a thankyou note Dudley had written him upon receiving word of the award. "She's a very modest person, never blowing things out of proportion in regards to her life. "She's reaching for the clouds, but has her two feet firmly on the ground," he said. Dudley said, ''The bigger the challenge, the harder you work. You strive to do a little D bit better."

MSC grad scores big with rewrite of 12 Angry Men Debra Schluter Reporter

(

"Twelve Angry Men." A play adapted/or the stage by Sonny Wasinger from the motion picture by Reginald Rose. Directed by Sonny Wasinger, set design by Parry Aktol original theme by Kent Krudwig. With James Mills, L. Kirk Leggott, Lowell V. Noel James F. Frazier, Mark Lee, James Stokes, Joseph L. Abramo, Richard Collier, Bill Fogler, Art &off, Joe Marshall Dick Bellerue. Presented by The Rocky Mountain Theatre Guild at the Regis College Theatre, West 52nd Avenue and Lowell Blvd Final performances at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, May 5, 6 and 7. Call 296-2662. Twelve Angry Men, a play adapted for the stage from the big screen by MSC alumnus Sonny Wasinger, is now enjoying an extended run at the Regis College Theatre - and well it should. . Wasinger's adaptation and direction of the 1957 star-packed movie make it a natural for the stage. The action is tight and suspenseful, the story intriguing, and the acting, although seemingly unmotivated at times, is taut and believable. As the play opens, it is summer and it is hot. A 12-man jury has just been sent to dehberate the fate of an 18-year-old man accused of killing his father. The prosecuting attorney has asked for the death penalty. The arrangement of the Regis Theatre into an arena stage - in this case a small, • broken circle of six steep risers - allows the action of the play to almost engulf the

audience. The tension is palpable; the stifling heat in the jury room and accompanying irritability nearly real. There is no single star in Wasinger's production - it is an ensemble piece. Each juror brings his own personality, insights and prejudices to a stage simply set with 12 wooden chairs and a small, insignificant center table. An original composition written exclusively for the production by local musician Kent Krudwig is bold and questioning. His opening sequence draws the audience in the foreboding tones enveloping the stark jury room in an aura of suspense. Within this circle the jurors reluctantly sit to not-so-eagerly debate and seal the fate of a man they have never known. It seems so cut and dried. The actors, impatient, rub their faces and scratch their hair, tired, yet anxious to get things over. A nervous energy begins to rise until the last row can feel the frustration. The dialogue between the characters is natural, overlapping at times, but never confusing. The men mop their brows, tug at their clothing, blow their noses, and doodle - 12 average men confined under less than choice conditions. If there is a flaw in W asinge'P's direction it perhaps has been in his inability to coax deeper character analysis from the twelve actors, or his decision not to. At times, however, lines are delivered with a seeming lack of motivation. An angry man, for example, does not respond to another's demand for the floor with a chirpy, "Sure!"

Phllllp Boxer. former dean of Llber1I Arts, was honored 11 his retirement ceremony Aprll 20.

Sudden and inappropriate builds also he production. More than a few times a number occur in of men are restrained from coming to blows with each other - too often to maintain the. desired effectiveness and too often to convince the audience that the situation in this jury room could occur anywhere, anytime - its most powerful message. Lowell V. Noe~ as Juror No. 3, plays a tough-looking, tough-sounding man disturbed by his failed relationship with his son. He has two wonderful opportunities to let the audience in on this soft, vulner)lble self, hidden beneath a loud, obnoxious front, but instead of alluding to it and allowing the audience the joy of discovery, Noel too

soon, too suddenly, all too easily discloses the most tender aspects of his character. Twice he delves into the mangled thoughts hidden in the farthest reaches of his mind, and twice he breaks down too suddenly, leaving little to the power of imagination. There seems to be a curious failure to try and hide the vulnerable side of a character who seems to live his whole existence behind a mask. But these flaws, slight when viewed within the context of the entire play, cannot seriously harm this small piece of wonder that Wasinger so lovingly presents. We are his captive audience, and as long as there are courts and cases, Twelve Angry Men should pack them in with its powerful message. o

Fee may hinder athletic department's growth Robert Ritter Associate Editor

The year-old special athletic fee reaped more money than expected for the MSC athletic department, but may restrict the cl'epartment's growth, according to athletic director Bill Helman. "It's not allowing us room to grow. It gives us that stability, but it's going to be a little tight," Helman said. The special fee was instituted last August after approval by the administration and Metro's governing body, the Board of Trustees. Every Metro student pays $13 a semester under the program. Until last year, the Student Affairs Board allocated student fee money to the athletic department. But as the department grew rapidly, new funding was necessary. A student senator designed the fee in May 1987 to keep the funding ofathletics separate from that of other campus clubs. In two years, students will vote whether to increase the fee, maintain it, decrease it, or do awav • with it But for this year, even though a higher head count resulted in a larger allocation, Helman said the department will probably just break even. The athletic department received $416,000, compared to the $397,000 Helman had budgeted. "We got beyond that (what he expected),

but it's kind of a trade-off," Helman said. "Even though that's more, we had some things budgeted through the institution." The institution promised to supplement the budget with $21,000, but now won't need to, Helman said. The next two years will test the athletic program's ability to subsist according to the economic restrictions of the fee. Helman said school officials told him to expect between $405,000 and $426,000 next year, which falls short of the $430,000 he has budgeted. "We'll probably have to make it up in fund-raising. The $430,000 allowed us to put in some money for post-season travel. And it also increased student help," Helman said. Helman said he predicted that fund-raising would contribute about $80,000 this year, $20,000 more than has been realized. But next year, he said, fund-raising should contribute closer to $100,000. And if that doesn't happen, the department could be hurt. The area that could be affected is postseason travel expenses, which may be necessary next year if several of Metro's teams continue to improve in NCAA Division H play. MSC interim President Bill Fulkerson said the first year of the fee has proven mostly successful. "I think that the people involved are pleased. I haven't heard any criticism of it,"

Fulkerson said. "My understanding is that it's an experiment. I think the three-year thing is important." Both Fulkerson and Helman agree that Metro must fund a successful Division II program while the fee is in a trial stage.

"I don't even think of anything else (besides Division II). I think we're competitive and the coaches and staff are doing a great job," Fulkerson said.

'Trike' over for some fun! Staff Fun will be the order of the day at the annual Campus Recreation Ninth Street 900 Tricycle race May 6 at noon. The start-finish line will be at the north end of the Arts building. Teams will consist of two pushers and one rider (preferably an athletic trike rider with experience). The course will go east toward the Library, turn south to the end of the Technology building and turn around for a return trip. On the way back, the trike must be stopped at a half-size basketball hoop, where the rider must make a shot using a Nerf ball before continuing. It's not for the faint of heart, but it sure is fun. Sign up by Thursday, May 5, at the Campus Recreation desk in PER I 08. It's free to all Auraria students and prizes will be awarded. o

ran into troubles of his own, giving up a double and a home run to start the inning. That provided just enough of an edge for the Bears as Metro could not catch up. "I kept thinking we can hit and catch them," Helman said. "(But) the last part of the year we couldn't find the right relief combination." The Roadrunners finished at 23-24-1 (Metro never completed a suspended tie game) everall, a record that didn't live up to Helman's hopes. "I expected we'd finish higher than that. We could have finished higher," he said. "We didn't play to our potential. I don't think the team was satisfied." Some outstanding individual performances highlighted the 1988 season. Berge batted an astounding .487 for the second year in a row. Catcher Dave Gudridge hit .390 with a team-leading 60 RBI and centerfielder Rusty Miller hit a team-high l l home runs, good for 49 RBI. Berge, Gudridge and Miller will return next year for Helman, leading him to believe next season's club could enjoy more success. "We do have a strong nucleus coming back. (Cortez) and (Mike) Nussbaum were the top two pitchers on the year. Those two coming back will make a strong one-two combination," Helman said. ,11 , Nussbaum set a team record with a 2.81 ERA and finished with a 6-2 record. But the team ERA is a different matter. "Offensively we scored enough. (But) we didn't do a good job with ERA. We need to improve that. Pitching and defense we'll need to work on." o

Robert Ritter Associate Editor

The MSC baseball team capped its season May 1 in fitting style: the Roadrunners won the first game of a doubleheader with a 4-0 shutout of the Universitv of Northern ~ Colorado. Then they finish~ on the short end of a 14-11 slugfest in the second game. "That was part of the story of our season," head coach Bill Helman said of his Roadrunners, who never won more than three games in a row or lost more than five straight this season. Anthony Cortez pitched brilliantly in the first game, allowing only three hits and one double as the Roadrunners recorded their second shutout of the year. "Anthony was the highlight. He pitched his first shutout," Helman said. "He had ' good control and went the whole way." Cortez, 4-4, got offensive help from leftfielder Rusty Befus' ninth homer of the year, a one-run shot in the third, and first baseman Torin Berge's 3-for-3 and one RBI performance. ~ The nightcap was a different story as MSC starter Mike Acre allowed four runs in the second inning on two walks, a single and a triple. However, Metro kept pace, scoring seven runs in the bottom of the inning to take a 7-4. Acre's real troubles were in the top of the !' 'third when he allowed four more runs and was pulled in favor of Joe DeMers, who got the Roadrunners out of the inning, trailing ~

8-7.

Athletic fee/ from pg. 20 Helman said the administration's attitude has been helpful. "The administration says, 'Hey, Division II is a fine level.' And I think that's acceptable to the college community," he said. For the next two years, Helman said he will try to demonstrate why the program should be kept. Even though he doesn't have to, he attends SAB meetings to let the board know where the department stands. He said a solid athletic program is

invaluable to the school's identity in Denver. "We're a factor. Not the only one or the most important factor, but we're one." He said if the vote were held today, he thinks the fee would have at least been maintained. In two years, he said he hopes for the same. "I would hope they (students) would at least figure in inflation then. H it takes an increase, I hope they'd consider it," Helman said. D
