Brewer's office face-lift prompts faculty anger Gabrielle Johnston News Editor
,t •'
MSC President Thomas Brewer is remodeling his office for approximately $35,000 - which includes air conditioning and oak doors - despite complaints from faculty members who say the money could be better spent elsewhere. Brewer said his office needs to be remodeled in order to upgrade the image of . Metro. "fve always felt the president's office is a public place which reflects the dignity and position of MSC, and it (the office) needs to reflect that to the public," Brewer said. Eliz.a.beth Friot, president of faculty senate, said space is extremely limited in her office, Central Classroom 107, but understood the president's desire to remodel. "Dr. Brewer's point is well taken - we need to present a nice appearance to the public, but we also have a real space aunch," Friot said. However, some faculty feel the money should be used to alleviate space problems in Central Classroom. Eleanor Green. director of Adult Learning Services, said she believes more attention needs to be paid to the working conditions of those in CN 107. "There needs to be an awareness at the top of administration of the conditions of people here," Green said.
Brewer's suite is one third the siz.e of CN 107, however CN 107 houses six times as many people. Although some faculty members are not angry about the remodeling, they are upset with the limited space allotted them.
"l'v11lw1ys felt the president's oHlce la 1 publlc place which reflects the dignity and position of MSC, and It needs to reflect that to the publlc." - Thomas Brewer Out of approxiniatel)\4,500 square feet of available office space in the English department, roughly one-third is common area such as ...reception stations and copy centers. That leaves about 3,000 square feet for offices, which must house 24 full-time and approximately 56 part-time teachers, according to Charles Albee: chairman of the English department. "It's almost unquestionable, it's bad all over," Albee said. According to Brewer, money for the remodeling will come out of the college budget However, Brewer added that no money will be diverted away from programs already budgeted at MSC. The Metro Foundation, a private corporation set up to solicit support funds for Metro, will purchase $6,200 worth of furniture for Brewer's office. 111

About 200 state Democratic leaders gathered on the steps of the Capitol last Saturday to announce their support for presidential candidate Michael Dukakis, including MSC student Mary Beth Yachym. Yachym, a history major, is Arapahoe County's coordinator for the 298-member, State Steering Committee, as well as vicepresident for the Denver Young Democrats. She and other students joined the crowd of more than 450 politicians, campaign staff, volunteers and attendees in applauding comments by State Representative Wilma
Webb (D-Denver) on Dukakis' stand on education. "Dukakis wants teachers to be valued and the profession honored," Webb said. Yachym, a tall, slim 22-year-old, is enrolled in the MSC teacher certification program, and she said she likes what Dukakis will do for students. "Dukakis wants to provide more funding for student grants, create respect for teachers and the profession and an improved economy will create new jobs," Yachym said. Education, along with several other issues,is a priority in Dukakis' national policy agenda. 111 Duk1kl1

SACAB met Aug . 26 to voice concerns about the expansion and will send a list of recommendations to the steering committee this week. The referendum will go to a public vote some time in November. · Theresa Kascsak, CU-Denver representative, expressed concern over the accuracy of the fee students will be assessed (about $13 per semester). Patti Calkins, from Metro, suggested that students not be required to pay the fee · until the building is finished and ready for use. Doing this, she said, would prevent students who will not be around when the work is done to pay for something they'll never use. Finally, Calkins said the faculty should have to pay a higher annual fee for use of the expanded facility. As things stand now, faculty members pay only $10 per year to use the PE building. With the expanded facilities the building will offer, Calkins (and the rest of the SACAB, for that matter) said teachers should receive some kind of increase in their fees just as students would. However, all of this will be a moot point if SACAB can't come up with enough voting booths for the election. Auraria has two machines to use but needs seven more to provide coverage to all points on campus. Without the extra machines, only two polling places would be available to students. SACAB wants more. It seems that Denver County will not give Auraria any polling machines so close to a national election. Calkins said she was trying to get machines from Jefferson County, but that brings up another problem. Poll watchers. Denver County won't "loan" Auraria poll watchers, but they will charge $60 a day to have them around. And Auraria can't use Jefferson County poll watchers in Denver County, so we're back to square one. Three options were discussed: SACAB could hire temporary people from a service, they could change the date for the election, or they could go to hand ballots instead of compu terized voting. None of these points was discussed in any detail, but they were put off until more information can be found SACAB meets again·Sept. 9. o

Publicity makes liver transplant probable Jay Hauptman Reporter • (
The wife of Al Rodriguez is dying before his eyes. Senia Rodriguez, 40, has an incurable liver disease called primary bilary cirrobsis and can only be saved if she receives a liver transplant. She was diagnosed in 1978, but became critical this past summer. She may be within a few weeks of death without the transplant, family physician Dr. Richard Harvey said in an Aug. 20 interview with the Rocky Mountain News. Senia's bo~y has filled with toxins because of her liver's inability to filter the poisons from her blood, and her weight has jumped from 110 pounds to 140 pounds, said Al, assistant dean of MSC admissions. ¡ "It's really bard to watch someone you love dying in front of you," he said. But in addition to the pain of having to live with his wife's deterioration, Al also has had to contend with a series of insurance hassles, putting his ability to afford the expensive operation in doubt. But in addition to the pain of having to live with his wife's deterioration, Al also has to contend with a series of insurance hassles, making it difficult to cover expenses.
operation in doub The Board ofTrustees of State Colleges, Metro's governing board, switched insurance coverage to Blue Cro~ on July 1, and MSC employees were offered a choice of four plans: After checking carefully, Al chose the HMO of Colorado plan. He was told by an HMO representative that liver transplants were covered, he said. But when Senia was taken to Omaha, Nebraska, for preliminary testing, Al began to hear a different story. Physicians in Omaha told Al his wife may not be covered, and he returned to HMO for answers. "The policy we were under only covered liver transplants for infants," he said. Al said when he asked about transplants, he assumed the insurance covered anyone. This news put him in a difficult situation. To be placed on the national donor list, a patient either needs insurance to cover $150,000 for the operation or needs the money up front. It was at this point that Al began appealing to HMO to consider their case. "For four weeks, we were ignored by the insurance company," he said.
Al tried to generate interest in his story through local media officials, but was unsuccessful. "My family and I are very humble, but this was no time to be humble," he said. However, once he contacted Lucy Branch at MSC public relations, his story was finally aired on Channel 7 by reporter Anne Trujillo. And after the story was aired on Aug. 19, the media attention was overwhelming, be said. "We were inundated by the media. We really couldn't keep up with the demand [for interviews]," he said. A trust fund was set up for donations, currently holding $2, 700, and Al even circulated flyers for additional support. Then, the Rodriguez family received more good news. After a series of negotiations between the state colleges and Blue Cross, Senia finally was put on the national list for a donor liver. HMO has commited to pay at least 80 percent of the $150,000 needed. But the funds raised may still be needed. Possible complications, transportation and housing associated with a transplant still could present a major expense, and at this point, Al doesn't know if HMO will cover

all or only 80 percent of the operation cost. "Twenty percent of $150,000 is a lot of money," he said. But Al doesn't want more money donated than he absolutely needs. He has retained the services of a lawyer to get a copy of the insurance policy so he knows exactly what his financial burden will be. "I cherish my integrity, and I don't want to raise money I don't need." In the meantime, however, people still are trying to help. A bake sale was held Aug. 29 at MSC, and proceeds are being deposited directly into the trust fund. In addition, a benefit dinner - dance will be held at 6 p.m. Sept. 24 at Front Range Community College for Senia's transplant. A raftle will take place for two donated Broncos/ Raiders tickets to the Sept. 26 game. _ Al said he was grateful for all of MSC's support. "Everybody has rallied around us," he said. "People have come up and said, 'Tell me what I can do and I'll do it."' o Donations can be made to: Senia Rodriguez Liver Transplant Fund clo Rocky Mountain National Bank .. _10375 East Harvard Avenue, SuiJe JOO Denver, Colorado 80231-3996
Pa~king angers disabled Gabrielle Johnston News Editor
High prices, lack of space and poor lot maintenance have several disabled students angry about the parking situation on campus. The rate for a full-time student to park is $110 per semester, but this fee does not guarantee a parking space. "I can't tell you what $110 means to a disabled mother," said Barbara Cosio, a full. time student at MSC. Cosio said she cannot afford a parking permit, and therefore has to park at one of 18 meters on campus. "For AHEC to charge $110 to disabled students is insensitive," said Jan Williams, a full-time disabled student at MSC. In addition to cost, several disabled students said there are not enough spaces to aa:ommodate them.
Gil Highland, a student at CU-Denver, agreed parking was too limited, but he said he did not feel it was a serious problem. "It's true it's tough for handicapped students [to find a parking space], but that's true for everyone. We have to suffer just like everyone else," Highland said. However, some disabled students said they felt their needs should be a priority. "Disabled students should have precedence over parking. It would make them feel like human beings, like they are wanted here," Williams said. Tem said figures are not available for the number of disabled students vying for disabled parking, but said she is certain there not enough spaces to accommodate them. Furthermore, Williams said the lots are not plowed sufficiently in the winter, making it difficult for students in wheelchairs to
get around. "I saw one guy in a wheelchair stuck in

The closing of Auraria's Library on Sundays has given new meaning to "a day of rest." Beginning this semester, the library will no longer be open on Sundays, but students and faculty should see an improvement in the quality of service there, according to hbrary director Patricia Breivik. Breivik said that closing the library on Sundays will not actually save money, but will allow more of the staff to work during the busier weekdays. "I clearly don't like having the library closed on Sunday," Breivik said, adding that the decision was made after reviewiilg several alternatives to improve service while
remaining within the hbrary's budget. The library received a six percent increase in its budget this year, but that was barely enough to cover its mandatory salary increases and a slight increase in its aquisition budget, Breivik said. Statistics from last spring indicate that fewer students use the library on Sunday than any other day. An average of about 617 people used the library each Sunday while about 4,500 people used the hbrary each weekday (except Friday, when about 2,500 people used the library). Other changes were made to help the library meet its service demands, including closing at l 0 p.m. rather than 11 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and closing the reference desk earlier.
Betsy Porter, coordinator of reference and computer-assisted research, said that she has condensed her staff's hours so more people will be available at the reference desk during peak hours. "I think it's a problem for students," she said of the Sunday closure. "We know a lot of our students work and have families." The library may re-open on Sundays as soon as next spring now that the Library Budget Planning Committee has been formed from representatives from Auraria's three schools. ¡ Natalie Lutes, one of Metro's represetative on the committee, said that so far the committee only has reviewed the fiscal history of the bbrary but has not yet taken any action.
the snow who just couldn't get from his car to the clasm'oom," Williams said. Melanie Tem, llUl08ger of the office of disabled student services, said she thought the lots were adequately plowed, but explained that lots aren't plowed until after 8 a.m., so students starting classes at 8 o'clock might have problems. "My assessment is that it's not a major problem, but if you're the one stuck, it is a ' major problem," Tem said. Some students said the problems with disabled parking exist because of a general lack of concern over these students' needs. Williams said she has attended other colleges that m~t disabled students' needs much more effec.tively. She added that she is very disappointed with the way she has been treated while at Metro. Highland agreed that problems exist for disabled students at MSC, but said he felt everyone was working to improve the problems. "When you complain, they learn and things get better," Highland said. o

While most MSC students are scrambling for spaces in parking lots and classes, several hundred elementary education majors are scrambling to complete their degrees by the end of this academic year. MSC will eliminate its elementary education major by the end of this school year to comply with a 1985 state mandate. Of the approximately 800 to 1000 students in the elementary education program, about 500 will be affected by the change, according to a survey completed by students ·last June. About 40 percent to 45 percent of the affected students will be unable to finish on time, Dr. Vince Orlando, acting chairman of MSC's Education Department, said. MSC has submitted a proposal to the Colorado Department of Education to extend the deadline to the end of fall semester 1989 in an attempt to accommodate those students, Orlando said. Under the old program, students could receive a degree in elementary education by completing a series of professional studies and methods classes, as well as completing laboratory hours by working in elementary schools. Students receive a bachelor's degree in their majors along with an elementary teaching certificate. The new elementary certification program is now similar to the secondary (middle and high school) certifi~tion program.
Dr. Evangeline Sena, principal of Greenlee Elementary School (MSC's laboratory school), has worked with MSC students and found the majority well qualified to teach in the classroom. "We have always been happy with the quality of Metro students," Sena said. "In fact, we usually hire them. I think it's because of the number oflab hours they must complete." However, the number of lab hours required have been cut from about 200 to 150. under the new program. Unfortunately, only time will tell if the changes in the program are for the better, Orlando said. "The majority of profe~ional educators and the people in this office would not agree that this is a better program," Orlando said. "It will be seven or eight years before we can tell." But for juniors and seniors this year, especially part-time students, the program change is for the worse. Karen Katus, an MSC junior, decided to leave George Mason University in Virginia and enroll at MSC after thoroughly checking the requirements for elementary certification. But since requirements have changed, Katus is forced to spend more time and money than she had planned. Now she wishes she'd never left Virginia. "I'm angry at all the changing stories and requirements," Katus said. The decision to eliminate the elementary education major in favor of a more contentoriented program follows a current back-tobasics trend in education.
Running back Sam Manley scores a T.D. Matro lost the game 20-14 to the Colo11do Warriors.
Once again the pendulum swings. "In five to eight years, we"ll probably have another elementary education major," Dr. David Reid, MSC elementary education professor, said.
But each time the pendulum swings, it seems students are left scrambling to complete their degrees before they're elimino ated.

International Taekwondo Federation, citing that they failed on 30 criteria by which Olympic sports are judged. For example, many of the teams were not formed until the event began, many of the referees also competed and rules for the cmpetition weren't formed until two days before the event. "Basically, the whole thing went down the toilet," he said. McGill quit the ITF in 1979 and worked as an independent master until he was contacted by the World Taekwondo Association in 1983.

The WTA picked up where the ITF left off and began campaigning again for Olympic recognition. The IOC granted their request in 1984. Professor Yang of Howard University enlisted McGill to coordinate Taekwondo competitions in Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico for selection of Olympic team members. As a result of his efforts, McGill was chosen to accompany the team to Seoul. McGill began learningTaekwondo around 1963 after boxing in Golden Gloves competition as a kid and trying karate for about a year. He was drawn to the versatility of "The art," as he calls it, and its adaptability to street fighting. "I was a bit of a hoodlum as a kid," he
said. "I used to fight at the drop of a hat." Now, he says, he is mellower and better at keeping himself in check. He does, however, attribute his ability to fight as something that has kept him out of trouble. Like many martial arts masters, McGill agrees with the idea that one learns martial arts skills without ever intending to use them. The knowledge of the skills is enough. Though already a recognized master of Taekwondo, McGill will expand his knowledge,of the art while in Seoul. He said classes are going to be held in the Kukkiwon, a gym where many Taekwondo styles were originally developed. There, he will learn from Korean masters alongside martial arts artists from around the world. The various fighting styles that make up Taekwondo first developed in Korea over 2,000 years ago. In the mid - 50s a group of leaders in the art chose the name "Taekwondo" as an "umbrella" term for all the styles. McGill is one of few non-Korean masters in the United States who make a living by practicing 'their' art. Unlike some martial arts instructors, McGill does not see the need to treat students as if they are in boot camp. Some instructors lock the door when class starts, preventing students from leaving or anyone late from getting in, he said. t "How many of them will come back after the first day?" While he once used such harsh tactics to teach Taekwondo, McGill has changed his style. He favors an "opportunistic/humanistic" approach designed to help people become confident and self-motivated. conrlnued on page 14

"He wanted a more non-office kind of approach," Gianesschi said. Fred Hopkins, president of the Metro

Yachym's twin interest in education and Dukakis, as well as some encouragement fonn MSC political science Professor Warren Weston, led to her involvement in politics. "He just kept telling us to get involved," Yachym said. She became involved in the primary, and when asked to hold her precinct's caucus at home, she agreed. Yachym dreamed of going to the Democratic National Convention. "I thought my chances were slim," Yachym said. "But the more I worked, the more it seemed possible."

Well, I've been waiting patiently for about two months now, but no one else has said it. '-'"'--~'""' I don't know why; maybe they're afraid of public retaliation, the hell they surely would suffer if they dared decry one of Denver's : most hallowed institutions. Maybe I am some kind of a freak and the only person this has ever occurred to. I don't know. Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, it has needed to be said for a long time, and I'm, going to say it. If the public decides to martyrize me, so be it. Isn't everybody... well ... pretty much ... TIRED AS HELL OF HEARING ABOUT THE BRONCOS? Oh, I can hear you out there, too. "Here comes another hack job on the Broncos, just because they haven't won the big one yet," you're saying. Well, you're wrong. So there. I love football, and I know that you don't get to two Super Bowls by being bums. Enough said. What bothers me, though, is the fact that people are so reverent of a football team. It really is pathetic. Every time I go down to the 16th Street Mall, I am surprised that I don't see a solid gold statue of John Elway. I expect to see this statue, and nuns in orange and blue habits laying roses at its feet. Little John Elway and Karl Mecklenberg shrines cottld be built all over town. There really is no end to how far this could go. Sometime during the first five minuteS of every newscast, every television station in Denver slips in a little Bronco teaser so that viewers will wait through all the boring news about the Persian Gulf, the homeless and AIDS to see the really important stuff. Like how many freckles Rulon Jones has on his back, or what Tony Dorsett had for dinner last night. I have seen mature, grown adults reduced to tears because they don't have anything orange to wear to work on "Bronco Day." And where I work, every day I see people spending hundreds of dollars so they can be one step ahead of the Bronco-chic crowd. One lady actually spent more than $500 in the last year on Bronco stuff because she didn't want to feel left out when all her friends showed up at her house for coffee in all their Bronco finery. As I think about all this, I can't help but wonder what Pat Bowlen (even the owner of the team is a celebrity now, and that should never happen) thinks of all this. He probably goes home every night and laughs until he throws up. Maybe it's just that in a city as screwed up ·as Denver, people need something to make them feel good. Maybe the Broncos (or more correctly, the people who merchandise them) are providing a much-needed escape valve for the tensions ofliving in a city where the air crunches. I can buy that. I guess it's too bad we can't get the Broncos to start a better air campaign. More people would definitely listen to Vance Johnson than Federico Pena. Maybe it's because Vance has a hipper haircut. o

EDITORIAL-------------Merit in teaching, · IT DOE.S "PPEAR Tl1f\T
not in paycheck I have watched the ongoing "debate" put forth by a group of rather vocal part-time instructors here at MSC for the past several months; but the statement espoused by one Larry McGill (August 19, 1988-"Raisefalls~hort for part-timers") was the "straw that broke the camel's back." I, too, started my career at MSC as a part-timer, trying to juggle graduate school (taking courses for my doctorate), working part-time and teaching at MSC. There is a definite handicap that one has to bear while teaching part-time, I agree, but it was something that I chose to do willingly, even if the money was just tolerable. McGill states that" ... We (part-timers) do more for the school than most full-time faculty." Even though I am but one faculty member here at MSC, I believe that Mr. McGill's statement is inaccurate, inane and most of all ludicrous. I don't see Mr. McGill spending countless hours serving on departmental, school and collegewide committees throughout the year (and including summers) that may meet at 7 a.m. on a Monday morning, 6 p.m. on a Wednesday evening or perhaps at 8 a.m. on a Saturday morning. I don't see Mr. McGill making an extra effort to engage in research that could lead to an article in a scholarly journal or perhaps spend untold hours in trying to put together a manuscript in the hopes that someday a publisher will accept said work and publish this effort. I don't see Mr. McGill being concerned with developing and/or revising (on an ongoing basis) courses for his department. I don't see Mr. McGill concerning himself with how he can represent MSC in the local community so that both the community and MSC might benefit. I don't see Mr. McGill concerned with spending the last four years in helping to revise the entire general studies curriculum (along with many other full-time faculty who are doing this because they want to create a better learning environment, not because it may- earn an increase in salary). I don't see Mr. McGill concerned with accreditation problems. What I do see is someone who is frustrated, egotistical and rather childish. If you, Mr. McGill are unhappy with your lot here at MSC, I suggest that yolj move on like the wind. After all, if all that concerns you is money, then college teaching is not what you deserve.

Part-timer's incentive undermined My recent comment that our part-time faculty raise is "Too Little, Too Late" has raised some questions from students, other faculty and staff. The amount that we are paid is only one of several issues surrounding the part time problems. The pay is substandard and a regular schedule of raises should be initiated. My own unscientific survey of help on campus tells me that virtually everyone who works here, with the exception of part-time teachers, receives some type of yearly cost of living raise along with other work incentives. This $50 per semester hour raise should have been given in 1981 or 1982. The faculty senate has approved this raise at least twice in the last 9 years, but someone has vetoed the approval each time. Why? There is no incentive for a part-time faculty member to excel as a worker on this campus. No future, no job advancement, no merit pay, no professional awards of any kind . Yet part-time instructors continue to churn out the FTE's (full-time equivalants) required to generate the money required to keep the full time faculty employed teaching the upper-division courses. This semester I'm teaching about 160 students. If my math is correct that translates to about 30 plus FTE's or a cash value of around $20,000. I like large classes and I'm not complaining about the numbers, but because of the draw, I and others should be paid more to pull in the students in this volume. Not only should part-timers at Metro be paid more by the hour, we also should be allowed to teach more than two classes or eight semester hours. These cutoff guidelines are arbitrary and subject to interpretation and argument. The guidelines also are counterproduc-
tive. Part time is less than full time ... increase the work hours for the truly productive instructors to 10 hours or three classes per semester and contract with them for two or three semesters per year. We have too many part-ti.me instructors here, over 450, and some of them are truly "part-time", temporary help," seasonal if you will. I don't think anyone should be let go, but attrition would cut th~numbers down and better pay with some kind of future will keep the good and loyal teachers here with more to do. Many corporations in the United States are resorting to part-time help as a way of keeping costs down and Metropolitan State College and other institutions of higher education are following ·suit. Part-time employees must self pay insurance, fund their own retirement plans and in some cases pay taxes quarterly. Metro doesn't pay into social security and part-timers don't participate in the state retirement plan. As a part-time instructor I realize that I probably will never receive any benefits from Metro State College but if I'm to pay these bills myself I have to lobby for pay raises and . better working conditions for myself and my fellow teachers. Finally, I'm quoted as saying that "We do more for the school than most full-time faculty." I hope I didn't say exactly that. If I did, I take it back because there are some fine people on this campus. I think that some part-time faculty do more than some full-time faculty. Also, many of us who have worked through four or five "full-time presidents" and the other "full-time interim presidents" resent being called temporary help.

CoP IRG denounces 'poacher' rap In the sprin~ of 1987, students decided by democratic election to install into the registration process a waivable CoPIRG fee. The beauty of this organization is that it wants to be the most effective vehicle as possible for effecting change. This takes money as anyone observing the politics of today knows. The CoP.IRG fee pays for a professional lobbyist who is at the capitol everyday, an on-campus professional organizer to facil itate the desires of students on important issues, the material costs of a specific project (always kept to a bare minimum) and a citizen canvas to garner support for CoPIRG (STUDENTS) throughout the state. This is not an inclusive list but gives one definite indication about how the money is spent, effectively. And effectiveness is the bottom line. In an article in the last edition of The Metropolitan CoPIRG's fee is described as a form of poaching, and an editorial accuses CoPIRG of relying on the "apathetic students" for financial support. Neither of these claims bears any resemblance to the truth. In fact, the opposite is quite evident. I do not equate something that is elected by the majority and still respects the rights of the minority (via the waivable fee) with "poaching." The waivability means that even after its approval by the majority, which in this country is
equated with law, the minority is not required to pay. The fee can simply be waived. To finish off this digression, no other student group is as vehemently and actively opposed to apathy. Every election year CoPIRG is out there trying to register and inform more people, on the campus as was the case this summer, and in the community (ditto). CoPIRG makes it a point to speak to classes, to poll students for the areas of their concern, and to be at a table with lots of literature in the middle of main thouroughfares so they can answer questions and get loads of valuable input from other students. All in all, CoPIRG does not use apathy, it fights it. Period. · One last point, there is no required level of involvement for participating in CoPIRG. Students can help by hanging up posters that announce events or just flat inform, by getting involved with a specific project of personal interest, by handing out l~aflets, by speaking to their classes about CoPIRG, by doing an internship, by taking on the responsibility of directing the Metro chapter (this is done democratical ly, of course) , or by simply and easily supporting CoPIRG financially.

Reporter Street barricades separated moviegoers from loud protesters before the opening day's 10 p.m. showing of"The Last Temptation of Christ," but the Esquire Theatre said it's great for business. Some fundamentalists had put in long hours in front of the Esquire Theatre at Sixth and Downing streets protesting the opening night of the film. "I have not seen the film, but I have read the reviews and it is very offensive to Christians," said Pastor Phil Day of the Boulder Pentecostal Church. Day and an estimated 90 protestors joined together to create quite a show for moviegoers and passers-by. A group of signwavers in front of the ticket window were singing hymns. Cars drove by honking their horns and waving. Television crews from Channels 9 and 7 were there. The atmosphere was as surrealistic as a night at the carnival. Earlier, the "Pope" rode by on a unicycle and Opus was "crucified" on a street com "It's great, good for bus· Ratcliff, manager of said. "Every ·

"You are driving people away from Jesus with your closed minds and prejudiced attitudes." He was quickly swamped by sign wavers. "You are no Christian," one yelled. "Why don't you buy a ticket and get in line with the other sinners," shouted an elderly lady with a bright red sign. Despite not having seen the film himself, Jim Whalen of the Happy Church said he felt the film showed a distorted view of Christ. "The important thing is to pray for the misguided souls who go to see this movie," Whalen said. Katie Powell, 15, of Fa Evangelical Presbyte · up the prates ·

Cory Cason Reporter
The temperature of campus diSc~ions concerning the humanity, as well as the divinity of Jesus remains hot, but reaction to the Martin Scorsese film "The Last Temptation of Christ" is a bit cooler. The core of the controversy is a brief scene in which Jesus, hanging on the cross, i.mairines having sex with Mary Magdalene. However, the argument does not stop there-it has mushroomed into a battlegrouna where many factions are at war. Among the battles are conservatives vs. liberals, newageism vs. traditional Christianity, and a host of interpretations of the first amendment to the constitution. The Reverends Jerry Falwell and Donald Wildman have called for a boycott of the movie, MCA (the film's distributor) and its subsidiaries. They include Universal Pictures, Motown Records and Spencer Gifts, among others. The reverends decry the film as blasphemous. ·· Locally, Pastor Maurice R. Gordon of the Lovingway United Pentecostal Church, spearheads the protest, including organizing picket lines in front of the Esquire Theatre at sixth and Downing streets where the film is showing. Reaction on the Auraria campus has primarily been curiosity. The Reverend Tim Merrill, minister of the United Church of Christ in Henderson and MSC student, saw the first showing at the Esquire. "As a movie, it is not that great, it's very episodic," he said. But there was nothing about the film's content that upset him. "It's not blasphemy to suggest that Jesus was fully human, capable of sexual temptation," he said. "In fact, it's heresy to suggest that he was anything other than fully human." 0

"It's my business to edify the diety of Jesus." Medina has not seen the film and does not intend to. "My Jesus was the son of God. He was pure and clean. I believe he never had temptation," she said earnestly. Coggan was quick to disagree with that notion. "Church dogma said Christ was tempted in every way, but did not succumb," she said. "The key issue [to the protest] is sex. People who are upset about the film are upset about sexuality in themselves, and ought to ask themselves why. Christ never condemned it, God never condemned it, so why are they so upset about it? I'd like to know." "If they are 'upset about the portrayal of Christ imagining what sexuality is, let them look at their own Bible. Notice the parables of the New Testament, all are very sensual, down to earth, real human events, and all are examples of a wonderfully sensual quality which anyone can see by reading. People ought to pay careful attention to actual texts of the New Testament, and not just read their favorite parts," Coggan said. Vifginia Broderius, Lutheran minister for the Auraria Interfaith Ministries Team, hopes the film will provoke thought and discussion on "how people view the humanity and divinity of Christ." "People who are Christians need not be afraid of this film," she said. "Since we are on an academic campus, we should strive for wisdom and knowledge. We need to be free to explore the various interpretations of o Christ's life."

Laurence C. Washington Reporter Call me foolish, call me irresponsible, but I loathe visiting the dentist. I'll tolerate pain for days, take aspirin like they were M&Ms, and hope that py ignoring the pulsating spasms, they'll stop. Let's face it, a trip to the dentist's office is aboutas enjoyable as a trip to the dentist's office. So, with my latest toothache, I stayed in pain for three days. By day four, however, I had to deal with a few facts. Fact: The Ostrich Concept wasn't working. Fact: My last wisdom tooth had to come out. Fact: My dentist wears a white mask so you can't tell who he is in real life. Fact: He snickers behind that mask. I made the appointment. I felt a little guilty because I'd been avoiding him for months, ignoring the postcards he kept sending.The cards pictured Garfield holding a toothbrush saying, "Come on in, it's time for your cleaning." Now I'm an educated man, capable of reading between the lines. What
it really said was, "Come on in, it's time for your drilling." I swore the next time I darkened those doors, it would be with a can of spray paint But pain is the great destroyer of ambitions. So I humbled myself, and showed'up with my hat, not black lacquer #7, in han_d. As it turned out, the tooth was impacted. The dentist said he couldn't pull it. So the job was over his head. I'm off the hook, I thought, until he referred me to an oral surgeon. The oral surgeon's office looked like an advertisement for a glass of milk. Everything was painted white, looked sterile and smelled pasteuriz.ed. The dental assistant, Ms. Wu, sat behind a large white counter. "Are you Mr. Washington?" "Yes," I replied. She stepped from behind the counter and led me to a room filled with chairs and a magazine-strewn table. Mounted on a far wall was a television set. Ms. Wu slid a cassette tape into a VCR. "Please watch this short film. I'll return when it's over." Then she walked out and closed the door. I noticed several dental case studies hidden .among the magazines on the table. I prayed he wasn't still studying to become an oral surgeon. The movie was a cartoon about why we have those pesky wisdom teeth. It had something to do with prehistoric man having a larger jaw. More room for teeth. That sort of thing. All the teeth in the film had smiles
except one; he was going to be extracted. "We have nothing for you to chew," said the other teeth. "You're no use to us anymore. Sorry. It's been nice knowing you,'but there it is." When the film was over, a deep voice from the door said: "No, it won't hurt." I whirled around to see the doorway filled by a man over six feet tall. He weighed at least 280 pounds. This giant had the sunbaked lookof a sportsman (probably from Wednesday golf ~ons). He had a wide blunt face, sun-streaked hair and was dressed in white. "You were wondering if it was painful," he said matter-of-factly. "As a matter of fact, I was." "You won't feel a thing. I'm gonna sedate you first." Suddenly it hit me. My dentist hadn't forgotten about all those broken appointments. At his office, all he could torture me with was double-digit billing. This guy was talking four-figure surgery. It was imaginative, brilliant, technically cunning. Ms. Wu scurried past, removed the tape and turned off the T.V. 'tAnd how did you enjoy our little feature?" "Oh, thumbs up," I said My smile felt a little weak in the comers. All I could remember was the strict convalescent diet of baby food that the patient endured for two weeks. The big man directed me to the next room

where I crumpled into a big reclining chair. He turned on the overhead lamp, and began examining my tooth. "Mmmm." "What does that mean?" He turned off the light. "Just, Mmmm." Ms. Wu came in carrying the X-rays sent over by my dentist. The doctor held them up to the light. "A bit tricky, but aren't they all," he mumbled. .

A week later, I showed up and asked if I could be billed the $70. Predictably enough, Ms. Wu suffered from selective amnesia. Normally I would have argued, but when you're in pain, your ideals become flexible. I wrote a check and made a mental note to hock the stereo as soon as I got home. This eventful tale does have a happy ending. Well, almost. I lost 10 pounds on the baby food diet. I'm still rec.ci:ving postcards telling me to come in for a checkup, and the oral surgeon gave me a coffee mug that has his practice written on it.

It couldn't have been a more fitting way to bid farewell to the summer. An estimated 3,000 music lovers gathered at Confluence Park to listen to 16 of Denver's best local bands perform at Rock.fest '88. The free concert was the brainchild of Bob Rupp and Jinx Jones. "It's a way of saying thank you to Denver for supporting the original music of the area," Rupp said. The eight-hour event started shortly after noon as Naybors played for an ambivalent crowd of a few hundred. Slowly but surely, the crowd filled the lawn as the next few bands stormed through their short 20-minute sets. Spectators covered nearly every cross section of the population - from families ha ving picnics to old hippies to heavy metal youngsters, and even some bicyclists who rode by and decided to stop and listen for a while. Boos echoed down the South Platte as the third band, Madhouse, performed their set a notch below mediocrity. As if they weren't bad enough, the singer read lyrics off a note pad he held as he stood motionless on the stage. Blonde in the Closet, with its two female leads, rejuvenated the crowd and got them cheering. The high point of the day came, however, as Wanker took the stage, displaying the talent that earned them the title of Best Rock Band in W estword. They smoked through songs such as "Cheap Debbie" and "Circus
in my pants" before the audience started screaming for a song whose title would never escape the editor's pen. "This is a PG-13 crowd" answered the lipstick-smeared lead singer, Jerry MacGuire, who later explained their show had been toned down from its normal XX rating. The crowd had to settle for an amphetamine version of "I Want to Hold Your Hand." The only complaint that might be leveled against Wanker is that their set wasn't longer. The Bratz had the dubious job of following Wanker, and did a commendable job. Especially exceptional was a rendition of David Bowie's "Fame." There were other notable performances throughout the day. Promoter Jones and Rupp played together in The Blue Jets, mak-
ing it obvious why they are prominent figures in the loeal rock scene. Rupp's other band, The Rumble, was equally good. The Original Rabbits, appearing for the fourth straight year at Rock.fest, kept the crowd rocking. But, if there was a band that came close to matching Wanker, it had to be Dick and the Chicks. Dick has an unusually good stage presence, and the Chicks were musically tight. All in all, the fourth edition of Rockfest was'rsuccess. "It was a real good turnout," Jones said. "We tried to have a band that represented every style of music," added Rupp. Other bands taking the stage were Shades
ofPersuasion, Soul Merchants, Tyxe, Gypsy Rose, Vincent Black Shadow, Myzar and Soak. D

LMen's soccer team shuts out Alumni John Gegner Sports Editor
The MSC men's soccer team trounced the --Alumrii 4-0 Saturday in an exhibition game portending good things for the fall campaign. The speed and precision of Metro soccer coach Bill Chamber's squad proved to be too much for Alumni coach Harry Temmer's charges, although the alumni played gamely. .r'femmer, an MSC professor, coached Metro
men's soccer from its beginning days as a club through collegiate status until Chambers took over three years ago. Metro outshot the Alumni 15-5, and were it not for some outstanding goal keeping by alumnus Marcus Motte in the first half, the score could have been much worse. Motte stopped shot after shot, many at point-blank range, until finally Chris Loptien scored on rebound shot after a tw0-0n-one breakaway 37 minutes into the first half.

With Motte on the bench, D.J. Ruder, Metro's top scorer last year, got the Roadrunners back on track scoring four minutes into the second half assisted by Joe Okoh. Freshman Chino Melendez pushed the score to 3-0 at the 20-minute mark when he tallied a goal assisted by Ruder. Chris Kalman closed out the scoring 10 minutes later assisted by Abdulmonem Al-Majid. Craig Lammering worked the goal for Metro in the first half, with Tom Vermilye taking over in the second to preserve the shutout. The duo teamed for four saves. The Alumni tandem of Motte and Paul Coffey combined for 10 saves. After the game, Chambers said the team showed signs of reaching its potential. "We're going to have a very potent offense," he said. "We should be scoring three or four goals a game. And if not, we should be disappointed." The game allowed Chambers to do some experimentation and as a result he plans to make several changes. Chambers said that Tim Yunger, who can play forward, midfield or defense, will play stopper in the core defense. Chambers also plans to use Melendez on the forward line as a striker. Ruder, Okoh and midfielder ieffAetcher were named stars of the game. Chambers also cited the play of goalies Lammering and Vennilye. The Roadrunners tangle with Westminster College this afternoon at 3:30 at home in the 0 season opener.
