Students losing in competition for resources Jana Cohlmla Associate Editor

Auraria students face potentially overpowering competition for resources in a campus library that already is inadequate. ..., According to circulation policies, students' borrowing privileges are nearly matched or ares~ by those of campus faculty, staff and some Colorado residents.

And this may pose a problem for the nearly 30,000 Auraria students using a library forced to cut services amid a growing '- campus population.

"We do have an inadequate collection and resources," said Marilyn Mitchell, assistant library director for collection and automation services. "But I don't think they [non-students] make a significant drain on '-- _ the collection. I think the student gets his fair share."

However, she said circulation figures are

While Smith may have started the ball rolling, it was Minney who picked it up and brought it before the Book Center Advisory Committee.

She suggested that the committee give her some feedback on how students would feel about cutting off cigarette sales. Her reasoning is that with the overwhelming evidence that smoking is unhealthy, a college which promotes strengthening the mind should not provide students the means to do something physically destructive.

When I was in the second grade, I had this teacher who harbored quite a fondness for a certain cliche. Whenever we started a food fight at lunch, threw crayons at each other, or hid in the closet, she would tell us that we no longer would have lunch or crayons or a place to hang our coats. Then she would stare at us for a while and sternly announce, "When you abuse a privilege, you lose a privilege."

Three new HP calculators raise simplicity to a science.

You'd expect HP's new scientific calculators to be powerful. And they are. What you might not expect is how easy thby are to use. Or the easy-to-buy prices.

Menus and prompts lead you each step of the way to your solution. Labels make them even easier to use. And there are simple ways to enter your own formulas and solve for any variable.

If your technical job sometimes involves finance , the HP-27S is the answer. It combines scientific and business functions in one calculator. As well as HP Solve to set up custom formulas and menus.

The full -featured HP-32S brings together numeric integration and complex numbers in an RPN calculator.

And the HP-22S comes with algebraic entry and a built -in equation library with solver.

destroying, in that one instance, the idea that someone, somewhere, has a view that is valid, despite the fact that it does not correspond with their own.

Now I'm not about to beat anybody over the head with that "journalist, front-line of first amendment defense" crap. I don't buy it And yes, I do think there are a Jot of books out there that never deserved to be published. I hope, however, that in my case it is a function of good taste and not some paranoid need to dictate peoples' reading lists.

It goes without saying that you cannot turn off a mind simply by turning off a printing press. Do the people that engage in book burning/ banning/ censorship seriously think that they can stem the tide of free thought? Hard to believe.

If the protests against "The Last Temptation of Christ" have served any purpose at all, it only has been to boost both the film's attendance levels and degree of commercial success. Congratulations folks - you have turned what would have been a relatively obscure art film into a hotbed of theological debate, and put the whole mess on the cover of TIME in the process.

Who would have thought that you could accomplish so much after the lobotomies you all had? I'm impressed.

The whole point is, though, that we can't just laugh it off and chalk up another victory for the authors of the Bill of Rights. Every single time the right to freedom of speech is challenged, every time someone bans a book, a movie, or even a music video, we are brought one step closer. We are brought one step closer to "limited freedom," then "restricted freedom," until finally freedom is gone and even the ingredients on a candy bar have to be approved.

In 1933 in Germany, a man named Ernst Toller, a leading writer and critic of the fascists, was imprisoned for publishing "subversive works." In one instance his guards, no doubt in a fit of whimsy, made him eat one of his own books. Yum. So let's not get too complacent, OK? Let's just make sure that in 20 years somebody writing a column in a college paper isn't forced to sit down and dine on his own words.

Come to think of it, after last week's column on parking, I could be pulling up a chair to a meal of newsprint myself.

That's OK, I suppose. As long as there's plenty of ketchup. o

~ Au raria cable service _ moving Reporter

Auraria's campus cable station, already forced out of several different office locations since its creation, has finally found a home - sort of.

Auraria Cable Entertainment for Students, which employs Auraria students in its ~ production and broadcast of closed-circuit programming to campus lounges, was originally located in rooms 350 and 351-A of the Student Center club wing.

However, last December the Student Facilities Policy Council, which sets policies ~ concerning utilization of all student-funded campus building.5, ordered ACES out of those offices.

According to current SFPC guidelines, only student organizations sponsored by one of the three on-campus institutions (MSC, ,.. CU-Denver or CCD) may be allowed office · space in the club wing.

The predecessor of ACES, the Auraria Student Telecommunications and Radio Organization, was recognired, funded and run by Metro, thus allowing its use of office • space for operations.

AHEC. Since then, ACES has submitted several different plans to the SFPC for acquiring office space.

The most cost-effective of ACES' options was a plan to build a permanent wall between rooms 257 and 258, which are now meeting areas not earmarked for club offices but are located in the club wing. The initial estimate for this project was $1500, which included a fire wall and a pc>werline that would eliminate pc>wer spikes (due to ACES' sensitive audio and video equipment), Beaver said.

On Aug. 23, Room 258 was alloted to ACES under the condition that a cost estimate and formal plan be submitted and approved by the SFPC. Also part of the agreement was the provision that ACES could only use the space until the spring of 1990, when it must undergo a review, SFPC member Dan Becker said.

After these initial steps were taken, Beaver said, Auraria Student Center Director

Registration officials at MSC and CUDenver are swimming in a cloudy pool of call numbers and class lists.

While it appears fairly clear to students, the pooled class system between Metro and CU-Denver is causing more work than ever for the registration offices of both schools.

Because CU-Denver is using a new computer software system, it no longer sends its list of available pool classes directly into Metro's registration system. The new system uses the call numbers and course abbreviations of CU-Boulder's registration system rather than Metro's, which is what it used in the past.

This means that both schools have to coordinate their schedules of classes with the lists of classes that are available to its students through the other school.

"Behind the scenes it's a lot of work for all ofus," said Dr. Martha Barrett, CU-Denver registrar.

Deans from both schools now reserve a certain number of seats in their pooled classes for students from the other school, and that results in extra work for both faculty and deans.

"It's meant a lot more work for the faculty, but they' re not fussing," said Dr. Kenneth Curtis, dean of admissions and records at Metro. As for the registration office itsel~ he added that the extra work is just part of their job.

"We get paid to get the students registered," he said. "We want to make (registration for pooled classes) transparent for the students."

This past summer, however, many students found the p00led class system as clear as mud.

"We thought what we had this summer was atrocious," Curtis said.

During that time, students had to apply for admission to the other school to take a pooled class. Many students found that this made them ineligible for some financial aid services, Curtis said.

The only difference that students will see in the new pool system is that Metro students no longer can get on a wait list for a CUDenver class, and vice versa. This is because of the difference in the wait list policies between the two schools. Metro has an informal pc>licy of absorbing students who are on the wait list, while CU-Denver does not. o

Emerson Holliday "freed up" Room 258 for ACES. As of this time, however, the organiution is still using Room 350 in the club wing to house its production gear.

However, although no formal cost estimates have been completed, both Becker and Beaver agreed that the total costs have nearly .doubled since the project's initial planning. Beaver said, however, that even though costs have now doubled, the use of Room 258 is still the most cost-effective

route to finding ACES a new home.

The final cost estimates will not be available until Sept. 16, at which time Beaver said they will be submitted to the SFPC. At that time, depending on the board's reaction and ultimate approval pr disapproval, ACES' moving plans could become final.

"I think we've found a place," Beaver said. "We're just quibbling about the o price."

Auditors in Metro's pocket for $1 million Gabrlelle Johnston News Editor

The Colorado state auditor is conducting an investigation to find out if Metro will have to reimburse the state approximately $1 million for improperly reporting remedial courses for state funding.

According to a 1983-1984 performance audit recommendation, four-year colleges are not permitted to report remedial classes for state funding.

However, according to a follow-up performance audit released Sept. 8, Metro repc>rted up to 14,500 remedial class credit hours for state financial support in 1987.

This amounts to around $1 million MSC is not eligible for but may have received.

But Tobiri Barrow, provost and vice president for academic affairs, said no credit hours were reported incorrectly. "~e have never reported instruction or student credit hours for funding illegally," Barrozo said.

MSC President Dr. Thomas Brewer said he did not believe Metro would have to reimburse the state.

"We reported those hours correctly.

They're not entitled to any money back," he '• said.

Barrozo said it is difficult for MSC to determine exactly which remedial classes need to be reviewed because the definition of remedial, given by the Colorado Com~ion of Higher Education, is unclear.

According to Frank Armijo, academic affairs officer of CCHE, remedial courses are defined as any class which P<>es not count for credit in an authoriud academic degree program.

Armijo said the CCHE is making changes to avoid future problems with its interpretation.

"We will revise the definition so the situation that occurred at Metro does·not happen again," Armijo said.

Metro is still permitted to teach remedial courses providing no student credit hours are given and no state funds are used to support the courses, according to Robert Haddock, state audit manager.

However, Brewer has ·decided to cancel all remedial classes anyway.

"It [canceling remedial courses] would better suit what we want to accomplish with our students," Brewer said.

Brewer said 40 percent of MSC's remedial courses were canceled this fall, and none will be offered in the spring.

In the future, all remedial classes will only · be taught at the community college level.

Students needing remedial instruction will then have to register for classes at CCD or other community colleges.

Byron McClenney, president of ·ccD, said the administration at CCD will do their best to accommodate Metro students.

"We will work very carefully to serve any students Metro will refer to us," McClenney 0 said.

Two students in my class ·right now have missed all the places I've asked them to identify." Kilcoyne turned away and complained to a wall map of the world, "Milwaukee is not Detroit."

Geography knowledge is important because it enables people to understand the economic and political shape of the world.

After all, the United States dropped its neutrality around World War II. But how important is that to your average Joe Sixpack on campus? How important is it in the scheme of going to school, shopping in a neighborhood mall or paying for the roof over your head?

It's humiliating and depressing to know that the best students in Kilcoyne's class are

He is unhappy with the geographic education in our school systems, saying that the maps they use aren't very good "If it was up to me, kids would have a half to a full hour of geography every day through 8th grade. As things stand now, I -'l have to spend half the course teaching students what they should know from elementary school," he said.

THE PEOPLE UPSTAIRS--Teacher ratings stuck in limbo .

-

Chad Morris Government Editor

Wouldn't it be neat to be able to pick up a book and find out how your new biology profesc;or rated with his students last semester?

Would it be fair to teachers to make their evaluations available? .: Teacher evaluations may be available sometime soon if the Academic Affairs Committee and Metro Student President Bruce DeWitt can uncross their lines of communication and decide how they're going to get the faculty to go along with the l_ idea.

Because at this point, Faculty Senate President Liz Friot sees no reason for making teacher evaluations available to students.

She said when she asked student government what problem they would remedy by pu~

lishing that information, they had no response. · She's asked them why they want them published. They replied only that CU does it.

But what about the rights of students to avoid taking (and paying for) a class from an instructor who will teach them nothing?

That's pretty much how student government feels, but they can't agree on how to do it.

Academic Affairs Committee Chairman Jeremy Stuhl favors the standard approach - the time honored practice of memo sending, while DeWitt would simply like to take the issue to State Attorney General Duane Woodard and let him decide.

Great And how will the Student Senate ever gain the cooperation of the Faculty Senate if they demonstrate a complete disregard for them?

"We have no relationship with. them now," replies DeWitt.

A victory through these means would be a Pyrrhic victory at best, says Stuhl.

But Stuhl's method doesn't seem very effective either. One memo suggesting that student senators be allowed to write questions to be added to present evaluations is not going to do the trick.

Granted, he may have a good compromise suggestion, but DeWitt feels that it would be duplicatmg a process already in place. Why should Student Government pay for something taken care of by someone else?

However, at least one member of the faculty may agree with Stuhl's idea.

Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs Tobin Barrozo said the school had the ability to add additional questions and this seemed to him the best approach.

He added, though, that his main concern was over publication of only one element of teacher evaluations. Current evaluations consist of surveys filled out by students (this is what Student Senate wants published), plus others filled out by department heads and members.

Ifonly the student.section were published, Barrozo thinks it would present an unbalanced picture. However, he did not go so far to say that he thought all sections of the evaluations should be published.

All nbbing aside, publishing teacher evaluations could benefit students and teachers alike. Students could avoid poor teachers and teachers who didn't do well would be forced to make changes in their classes.

But the bottom line is~ ifstudent~overn­ ment doesn't get moving on this quickly, they'll lose momentum and it won't pass o

Students were able to meet MSC's newlyelected president, Dr. Thomas Brewer, enjoy a spread of refreshments and get a taste of extraordinary contemporary juz from Indeya and her band Sept 6 in Room 330 of the Student Center. · The third floor definitely was shaking and getting a test of strength from Indeya (prounounced India) and her five-octave range.

At times it seemed like the walls would come tumblin' down. Forget the wine glass from Memorex, we're talking earthquake.

Indeya shared her musical inspiration with about 125 people from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., moving freely from the stage with her cordless microphone and mingling with her audience in a delightful manner. Some were left in awe after listening to her voice.

Indeya began her first set with "Rio De Janeiro Blues," a song originally done by Randie Crawford. "People Make the World Go Around" and "Paradise" followed. The set ended with a reggae version of George and Ira Gershwin's hit, "Summertime," also the title of her demo record that already has sold over 2,000 copies.

Her second set began with "What You Won't Do For Love," which demonstrated her vocal variety and range. At times she left

The Colorado Democratic Party chairman said George Bush deserved to clean up the m~ from the Reagan administration when he spoke informally to a doun students about the upcoming presidential election Sept. 8 on the Auraria Campus.

The chairman, Buie Seawell, also discussed the future of the presidency and problems and changes in the Democratic platform; Although surveys indicate Dukakis trailing Bush, Seawell takes comfort in the polls because be thinks people haven't made up their minds yet "Polls in August are worthl~" Seawell said. "It's like throwing money down the toilet. Not until two weeks before the election will things lock or set" This election will turn on the nation's sense of the future, Seawell said.

"Dukakis will win if people look toward the future. If they feel comfortable with the past, Bush will win."

Seawell is uneasy with the past because of the enormous national deficit, failure of labor and government to compete on an international level and outstanding loans to Third World countries.

Reagan thought if the United States incurred enough debt, it would be forced to cut domestic spending, and now the nation is deep in debt. Seawell said.

"Bush ~rves the backlash, but he's not a choice," (for preside'!t) he said. "The next president will be faced with impossible dilemmas t6 deal with and will be remem-

The

bered as the person who had to hurt the public. Mike Dukakis, if elected, will likely face the worst four to eight years of his life."

Still, Seawell does have hope fpr the future and a proposal for dealing with some of the imposgble dilemmas.

"The federal government's position on education must be shifted," be said. "Any enhanced revenues should focus on the deficit or education, 12 years of that shoud pull us out..

Currently, the federal government spends 2 cents out of every tax dollar on education.

The Democratic platform calls for substantial increases in fundirul for all levels from Head Start, a pre school program, to student loans for college.

So, in an attempt to bring support to the left, the party changed its platform.

"We changed because the Democrats have been losing," Seawell said. "Colorado lias voted Republican in every presidential election since 1964." ·· Previously, the platform had been a compilation of issues from every special interest group and ranged anywhere from 40 to 200 hundred pages in length. Seawell said the document caused considerable division within the party.

"The purpose of a platform is to unite a party," Seawell said. "It's a comprehensive statement of issues that can be agreed upon."

The current eight-page national platform covers issues such as the economy, education versus weapons, health and the environment. The one-page state platform deals with just three issues: the environment, education and economic development.

"These ~ee issu~ are ones t~e Republi-

cans have failed on, Seawell said.

~

But even with the changes, Seawell has problems with the platform process.

"First, candidates carry the issues, not platforms," he said. "Second, it is congenitally impossible tO produce an interesting #' platform. When they become interesting, they become deadly."

Seawell said he sµpports gay and lesbian rights, but that while it's interesting, it's too controversial. He doesn't want it included in either the state or national platform.

However, parking on the Auraria Campus should be the first issue on the platform, Seawell joked before leaving for Grand Junction to give another speech.

Seawell is currently serving his second term as chairman of the Colorado Democratic Party. He has also served as administrative assistant to former Senator Gary Hart, and as director of the Colorado Office of Energy Conservation.

Seawell was the first speaker in the MSC Student Activities 1988 Vote Lecture Series, which also includes Mary Lind, the Libertar- ~ ian Party state chairwoman, and Bruce Bensen, the Republican Party state chairman.

Student Activities will continue to bring speakers onto the campus, despite the low attendance at the Seawell lecture.

"All we can do is bring in speakers and hope people will come," Dennis Bryan from Student Activities said. "Lastspring, webad a feminist speaker and 100 people came. It's not a matter of apathy: it's a matter of commitments. Many students have other commitments, such as work or families."

FEATURES--------__._ _______ "Mother follows sons through Metro Elena Frldland Reporter ........

At 5 feet 2 and a half inches, Alice Parker is a bright, energetic woman with sparkling ' blue eyes and light, easy laugh. Her story is' a twist on tradition: she attends her child· ren's alma mater. r "Around the year I turned 40, I realized ..r;that to do the things I wanted to do I had to prepare myself," Parker said thoughtfully. "I wanted to be able to take care of myself if I ever needed to."

Parker attends MSC, where two of her sons went and her third son is enrolled. A <. full-time student at MSC, she also works as the adult learning counselor on campus.

Parker majors in women's studies with an emphasis on gerontology (study of aging) and minors in interpersonal communication. She said she always has been an extro~verted person and selected Metro because the school has a good program in her field and it's so diverse.

"Metro is an eclectic school. Often I'm older than the professor, and people in the class are my children'~ age or younger," ,- Parker said. "Walking down the hall you can't tell who's a professor and who's the student."

"Alice has a wealth of living experience and is able to integrate it with classroom l~ing," sai<l Dr. CJ. White, a Metro sociology professor. White said he thinks her

a

background, personality and temperament are a good combination. "She's very nonjudgemental and has a high-level sensitivity to the oppressed - women, minorities ... " White said.

"I consider myself a feminist. I believe no one should be discriminated against because of their gender," Parker said. "That comes from a life-long outrage of racism· and ageism. All 'isms' are basically the same."

Parker admits that she loves to learn. "In this last part of my life, there are things I want to do. There are talents I want to develop and use," she said. "I have a joy of learning. I can't imagine how I can ever be tired of school. I like new ideas, new

challenges.

"Your world opens up when you go to school. I love learning about"women, history ohvomen," Parker said with a twinkle in her bright eyes. "I enjoy working with people.

One of my goals is to work with women and successfully negotiate life's transitions.

"We all have a need to be useful, to pay rent for the space we live in, so to speak," Parker said She cited several people on apnpus who have been her role models and have motivated her, people such as Edith Sherman, a retired gerontology professor from Denver University.

"Edith Sherman is a model for what I want to become when I'm around 70 years

'"),.. .

old," she said. Parker said she admires Sherman's grace, dignity, wisdom and her strong sense of self.

Parker was a floral designer for two years, then a lecturer for Weight Watchers. She also has conducted women's support groups for the Women's Institute. · 'One of Parker's sons, Jim, graduated from Metro with a history degree. Another, 14ody, started at Metro and finished his aviator degree in the Air Force. Mitchell, a third son, is getting his degree in finance. He encourages his mother's educational pursuits.

"I think it's great; I think it's fine," Mitchell said. "She took time out to raise five kids and support a family. Now it's her tum."

Jim agrees with his brother. "Alice is a dedicated mother, and when she was raising us, she was also involved with different programs in [our] school, church and other things," Jim said. "In a sense, her going to school now is rediscovering herself. In everthing she pursues, whether it's UNICEF, church or school, she puts herself into it 100 percent."

White said that academically Alice is a "solid" student, adding that he found her to be a well-rounded individual. White had an opportunity to teach her son, Jim, and said that he saw a lot of Alice Parker in him.

White is proud to be Parker's friend "It's an inspiration to me as the teacher," White said "I would love to have more Alice o Parkers as students and as friends."

Representation up in smoke?

Where does one draw the line between a good cause and a project designed for personal glory?

In August of this year, AHEC Executive Director Morgan Smith took a stand on smoking on campus, stating that with participation from both smokers and nonsmokers, it would be possible to change Auraria into a cleaner, more smoke-free campus.

He added some rather harsh comments concerning smokers, including a statement that "smoking is a behavior disorder, no different from alcohol, drugs, or even overeating."

Although I smoke, I can easily understand Mr. Smith's concerns and even appreciate an attempt to rectify the situation. Smoking is not glamorous and is deadly. I'm not sure I appreciate being accused of a behavioral disorder, as that brings negative connotations to mind, but so be it. That is his opinion.

Soon following, Gretchen Minney, Auraria Book Center manager, leaped onto the bandwagon. She announced that she no longer wanted the convenience store to stock tobacco products, as a sort of concession to her own morals. Again, I have no problem.

But as the book store is a state-run entity partially funded by students, Minney is attempting to receive approval from the Student Facilities Policy Council, which sets policy for the Student Center, followed by a signature from Mr. Smith.

Again, I must agree with her procedures, and believe that students should at least, if they don't have direct input, be informed of the possible change.

So, MSC Student President Bruce DeWitt took it upon himself, as a direct representative of the students, to approve the change. But herein lies my problem • with the situation.

At a student senate meeting Sept. 7, DeWitt attempted to pass a letter of recommendation from the senate to SFPC, stating that the elected representatives of MSC agree the book store should cease the sale of tobacco products.

"We as a body feel that the Book Center should be socially aware of the hazards of smoking as well as passive smoking. We feel that the Book Center should not be contributing to the poor health of the general college population," the letter states.

It ended up in quite a debate between senators, many of whom had not heard of the proposal at all before DeWitt gave his speech. Two senators thought the proposal went against the rights of students to smoke, as long as they smoked in reserved areas of campus, and one went so far as to say it was "ridiculous even to have to vote on it, to even have to consider it."

DeWitt passed the entire issue off as an attempt to tii:ihten the budget of the bookstore, which was recelv-

ing a major overhaul, a "financial organ ization plan."

The Book Center recei.qes $16,000 in revenues annually from tooacco, and the current plan to compensate for the lost money is to expand the convenience store to include a gift section and a packaging service, presumably to mail off MSC Roadrunner presents to Mom. However, Minney said $16,000 is a "drop in the bucket" when one takes into account Auraria Book Center's $8 million yearly budget.

So why all the mystery? Apparently, DeWitt wanted the letter to get to the SFPC immediately if not sooner so there wouldn't be an opposition to his smoke free dreams.

I refuse to sit by and watch my elected 'representation to the administration' write a letter insinuating that the student body approves of the change. This may well be the case, but wouldn't it be interesting to have the students say so?

Apparently, it bothered others as well. One student stood up after the vote, which passed 11 to 4 with 2 abstentions, and announced that since ASMSC stood for the Associated Students of MSC, he must be part of it.

"I'll bet that 99 percent of the students have no idea our representatives are sending this letter to the book store," he said.

Reluctantly, DeWitt was forced to table the issue until the Sept. 21 meetin,g, by which time the students could hopefully be reached.

The Metropolitan was contacted by a former senator, who had resigned at the meeting, to run a student poll.

No one followed up on the poll at all until the next week during newspaper production, when the same senator asked what had happened with it. This did not really demonstrate to me that anyone "upstairs" truly cared whether or not the students were polled.

But apparently DeWitt decided the media gig was the way to go, because he told The Metropolitan he would like to organize a debate on smoking with experts in the field to be held on campus - with complete coverage from Denver television and newspaper media. He then spoke of taking his proposal for a smoke free campus "straight to the governor."

• I would like to question DeWitt's methods. I know it's probably a very good idea, and believe me I know it would help me and others quit, along with slightly cutting back on the infamous brown cloud.

But why wasn't he willing to ask us?

I would ultimately like to know: Is he concerned about our health or is he concerned about getting a merit badge and, as Andy Warhol once predicted, his 15 minutes of fame?

Senator urges fight -,

Editor, When. I was elected to the MSC Senate, I thought I would be dealing with important issues that would serve the student body. I thought that issues such as parking and the drop fee would have top priority, since those were the issues which Bruce DeWitt campaigned ~ on during last year's election. However, I find myself in a battle over what I consider to bea weak and irrelevant issue - whether the Senate should sign a letter that Bruce has written for the Bookstore Advisory Committee. The letter addresses the sale of tobacco products.

Bruce states in the letter that we should vote to ban the sale of tobacco products and join in a new "trend." This statement, I believe, brings up two questions that must be asked: 1)Since when is banning the sale of anything a "trend?" I know banning smoking is a trend, but I've never heard of banning tobacco products as one.

Besides, I believe that the students of MSC have a mind of their own and would never support something just :a because it's a "trend."

2)Why weren't the students informed on this decision?

As a senator, I found out about the letter on the same day we voted . I don't feel that this type of "rushed " vote gives adequate representation to the student body.

I believe that as students of MSC you have a right to ~ voice your opin ion. At the Senate meeting Bruce said that he had your (the students) support on th is issue. If that's true, then I urge you to let your support be known, if not, then I urge you to let your opposition be known.

Maybe if we can get the students' opinion on this weak and probably futile issue, we can get Bruce back to working on his campaign promises, which were the parking issue and drop fees.

Prez says snuff out cigs Editor, As President of Student Government at MSC I f~el that I must give the students of MSC the purpose and explanation of our intent to eliminate tobacco sales from the Student Center Convenience Store.

Several years ago the Book Center went under a reorganization and since has gone from a mega-money loser to a respectable profit maker by which the profits ~ pay off the Student Center Board. A part of this reorganization is to change the conven ience store's market plan as well as floor plan to maximize profits.

A common marketing approach to increase profits is called upgrading or downgrading of one's product line.

The convenience store has chosen to upgrade its.product line as well as its market image. The convenience store is going to become a gift centered organization with a greater emphasis placed on healthier food products and beverages. They are going to introduce product lines consistent with "Roe's" in the Tivoli and Hallmark stores.

0

The reorganization will also include expanding the ( Copy Center and establishing a packaging and shipping service for students. I think that one can clearly see the connection between a gift shop combined with a packaging and mailing service. This will allow students easy accessibility to both buying unique and quality gifts and easy access to the mailing of packages.

It is important to keep in mind that tobacco sales in the convenience don't make money until the ninth month of the fiscal year and that the $16,000 in cost profits (less than 1 percent of Book Store profits) are substantial but recoupable under the reorganization.

Although granted the sales per square feet cannot be matched, the overall loss in revenue can be.

• The change is inevitable in the business world, and not only will the tobacco consumer be inconvenienced, but so will the "marshmallow mush bar" consumer. It's time that the smoker learn to differentiate between "legislating morality" and common business sense.

After all, when was the last time a smoker bought tobacco at Hallmark?

Care to join this debate? Come to the next Student Government meeting on September 21, 1988 in room 330. Your presence will on ly mean you support the change.

Part-time professor angered by Leventhal: demands change

c

_,_

~

c

Editor, Responding to Larry McGill's assertions that Metro's part-time faculty have more than a utilitarian value in the academic and extended life of the college, Professor Richard Leventhal began to catalog what he does not see from his office in the West Classroom building.

I and my colleagues find this troubling, not because Leventhal is unaware that McGill travels to college campuses across the country several times yearly as representative of his department or that he has worked - in the name of MSC and in conjunction with faculty from Harvard and Boston College - on funding projects for the U.S. Olympic Foundation. Nor is it finally most troubling that Leventhal is unaware of McGill's work with the professor's own late colleague, Pam Markam, to develop marketing strategies for the Denver Public Schools' community schools program or of McGill's writing efforts in the popular literature of Taekwondo. There is no reason for Leventhal to be tracking the professional efforts of faculty members

from other departments, though perhaps he should research such things before attacking a colleague in print.

This is what troubles us.

More than a handful of part-time faculty have taught in every Metro session for well over a decade, though they are still classified as temporary personnel. At last count, well over half of the people teaching at MSC were employed on part-time contracts. And in many departments, the vast majority of lower-division courses are taught each semester by long-time, part-time, professional educators. Many of us do produce, and publish, serious works of scholarship, criticism , theory and commentary. Many deliver papers at regional and national conferences. Many continue to work on advanced degrees. Many enjoy the fruits of having earned a Ph.D., though, Leventhal may rest assured, these have not been monetary or in any way related to job security.

What we have argued is that more than a few members of the part-time faculty are professional edu-

'Mudslinging' harmful

Part-timers 'slaves' to Metro

Editor, I have been reading about all the stink being caused over the raise for the part-time faculty; I personally think it's great that you finally got a raise, you fully deserved it. In fact, if it wasn't for the part-time instructors, there wouldn't be enough people to teach and Metro would probably fold up. I think Metro owes you a lot, but the way to get it is not by public mud slinging! I am truly appalled at what- I have been reading, shame on you Dr. Leventhal and Mr. McGill, you two are supposed to be adults, moreover, you are supposed to be professionals, or are you? From what I have seen, you two have been acting like a couple of kids, especially you Dr. Leventhal. You are obviously a very educated man. Instead of abusing the part-time staff, you should be doing everything you can to support them, or are you afraid to help them because they might get your job? Have you really done all those things you don't see Mr. McGill doing? Or is the reason you don't see him doing these things because you haven't done them either? And if you have, please don't break your arm patting yourself on the back. It's the least any of you could do to see that the high quality of education that we pay so dearly for is maintained.

As for you, Mr. McGill, if you are that concerned about a retirement plan, I suggest that you seek out a financial planner for help in setting one up. Finally, what I also see is two men who are causing a big stink over nothing, and instead of publicly dragging each ~ - other through the mud, maybe should 路learn to work together to accomplish their goals. If that doesn't work, then maybe you should both, as you are so fond of saying, Dr. Leventhal, move on with the wind because I don't think we need two instructors who can't work together. When that happens, the entire student body suffers, not just the two involved. I also think the two of you owe each other, as well as the rest of us, a public apology. If that doesn't work, maybe you can meet in the P.E. building路 and go a few rounds in the ring.

Rock critic marches to beat of different drummer

.

Editor, I was bewildered after reading Cory Cason's review of Rockfest '88. It is absolutely amazing tnat anyone could possibly favor the gimmicky Wanker over the fifteen other bands that played that day. It is even more shocking to read that he thought the bland and embarrassing Dick and the Chicks was the second best act.

Was this person in the Port-a-Potty when the god-like Shades of Persuasion played the most exciting and original set of the day? And where was he when SOAK incited a thrash-n-frenzy rock riot? What king of rock critic would put these bands in an "also-ran" category?

One who's yet to transcend late-Seventies mediocrity and cliche, that's what kind. Rock On!

- Lyca Lou Blake

Editor, Richard C. Leventhal had his say about part-time teachers at Metropolitan State College and about Larry McGill in particular. Now it's my turn.

I have to believe that Dr. Leventhal is speaking only for himself and not for others - certainly not for the faculty as a whole. If he began as a part timer and moved into a full-time, tenured position, he is among the fortunate. Other part-time people have not been so privileged. Many have worked for a decade or more, year after year, for insultingly low wages.

They are professionals without status, academics without an academy - bale lifters and barge toters slaving away on the Metro plantation. They often speak for themselves, but few full-time worthies speak for them. To the few who do, I add my own voice.

The issue of The Metropolitan in which Leventhal criticized McGill's lack of visibility off campus as a member of MSC faculty reported on his present trip to Seoul where he is working on the organization of worldwide support for Taekwondo. And none of these activities has been rewarded with, um, money, though Leventhal's implication is clearly that McGill's dissatisfaction results from simple greed. It is not this which is so unsettling.

But Leventhal seems to be operatinQ on quite old - and nationally discredited- myths concerning who part-time college teachers are, the same myths espoused by the MSC administration, the Board of Trustees, even the governor of Colorado. All continue to argue that the profile of the part-time MSC instructor has not changed from the early days when it was envisioned that departments would suoolement thAir r.urricula by recruiting, on a quarterly basis only. professionals from the private sector who would bring in their experience and expertise to allow single, specialized, professional course offerings.

I am beginning my 24th year at Metro. I was here on Sept. 7, 1965 for the first faculty meeting. In 23 years I have seen administrators come and go (" How the mighty are fallen") . I have watched nine (or is it 10?) presidents vacate their offices. I have witnessed all the changes - for bet\er or for worse.

One thing I have not witnessed, however, is fair treatment of our part-time colleagues. How long must they wait for respect and recognition?

I cannot speak for anyone but myself, but I am wi II i ng to take a $1,500 cut in salary to help boost, however slightly, part-time pay. I would insist, of course, that the money go for this and not for something else. $1500 is not much, but if every privileged, full-time faculty member would do it, the dollar amount could add up. At least the Metro "slaves" could eat hamburgers instead of "cake."

- Wayne D. Rolllns

cators -skilled, experienced and acknowledged in their fields. When the need for such people is as hiqh as it is here, should the opportunity to earn our livings be forestalled by arbitrary policies dictated by counsel rather than by the priorities of an administration which, at all levels, should value that fact and quality of education?

We have, admittedly, been naive in this, and if Leventhal speaks for the faculty as clearly as he speaks for the administration and for the Trustees (and Trustees' counsel), then our now-enlightened battle will be rough. We had hoped that " regular faculty" might value us as the students do and not as does "The Third Floor" (central classroom executive administration offices).

Oh, some of our issues involve money- the valuing of the service we offer to MSC. But we would like to begin with recognition, and then to approach a change in the policies that keep all of us from \'.>'Orking more and longer at MSC for ourselves, surely, but for educational quality as well.

Eric Hobart Features Editor

A hail of whizzing missiles erupted from behind groups of scraggly Lodgepole pine.

The five-man patrol was caught in a wasting cross fire.

Shadowy figures nearly invisible in uniforms splotched with green, brown, beige and gray kept up the attack, moving on only after their fire went unanswered.

The patrol's lone survivor, the "Iceman," crept cautiously through the dense pine, staying in a low crouch. He circled slowly behind the enemy, careful to avoid branches and brush whose snap would reveal his position. The enemy had stalled 30 feet away and laid siege to the Iceman's flag base on top of a sandy ridge. Fire from the base's defenders had the enemy pinned down.

The Iceman worked his way behind the trunk of a 30-foot Ponderosa pine. He leveled his ''Sheridan pump" rifle and sniped the enemy one by one, letting out a triumphant whoop as the fourth and final enemy yelled, "I'm hit" The casualty slipped the red armband from his shoulder, held it high overhead and walked slowly up the ridge to join his fallen comrades, another casualty in a paintball war game.

A half hour earlier 37 people had assembled in a small clearing, near Deckers, 45 minutes south of Denver. Long shadows stretched from each tree in the morning sun as the "weekend warriors," including Todd Yamada, a 22-year old MSC criminal justice major, prepared for battle.

Yamada arrived on the scene looking like a psychedelic version of a Hollywood indian, with green and brown stripes under his eyes and down his cheeks and jaw. He thought his game experience might be useful in law enforcement.

"In case somebody runs through the trees, I'll be able to shoot him," he said.

Bob Bowes, owner of this branch of Adventure Games of America, stood behind the tables and distributed equipment.

For a $35 fee, players recieved a paintgun, camo' fatigues, face gear, 32 rounds of ammunition and lunch. The "ammunition" consists of half-inch (68 millimeter) gelatin pellets filled with vegetable oil dyed orange, red or yellow.

They explode on contact with a dull splat and leave a 3-inch circle of colored oil.

Bowes, a CU-Denver graduate student, began the enterprise and said that though this branch is still in its infancy, he expected continued growth.

"All we have to do is get people out here. Once they play, they're hooked," he said.

Kris Pedersen, employee and referee, explained the game's origin. He said in 1980 a highly competitive doctor and lawyer discovered the guns, used to mark trees and cattle. They bought a pair, marched off to the woods and paintball was born.

Today, paintball is a high-tech adaptation of "tag," "steal the flag" and other childhood games. It's the same as "cowboys and indians," except the paint and the referees eliminate most arguments over who got shot first.

"What red-blooded American hasn't been in a snowball fight and enjoyed it?" Pedersen said.

The guns are powered by compressed air, and most are accurate up to 100 feet. Standard-issue guns are automatic pistols, carried in foot-and-a-half long holsters. Veteran male players wear the long thin holsters between their legs as added protection. Regular players may bring their own paintguns, provided the gun doesn't propel the pellet any faster than 300 feet-per-second. Rifles, machine-guns and grenades are all part of the paintball arsenal.

Eventually, Pedersen led the red team, "the bloods," to one side of the clearing. Like a friendly drill instructor, he told the "newbies" how to load their pistols and change compressed-air cartridges.

"Hand tight is all it has to be," he said. "Don't try to play Conan with these."

The players, most of them novices, milled around the 60-foot clearing as they waited. Veteran players offered advice to the "newbies."

"That machine-gunner only has 15 rounds, then he's got to reload. That's when you rush him," one said.

The group looked like an army surplus convention. Each player wore camouflage fatigues, complete with floppy cloth "boonie hats" and fingerless gloves.

One player, a one-game veteran, wore a foam rubber camo' hood with eye and mouth holes, like a military version of Friday the l3th's Jason. He said he'd taken a shot on the back of the head his last time out and still had a lump.

Another player wore a "Gilly suit," a formless mass of inch-wide burlap strips up to three feet long. He's known as the "Bushman" and "Cousin It." As game time draws near, the novice players began to gather in groups of four and five and talk in quiet voices.

Some aren't entirely enthusiastic about the game.

"Everyone was walking around work pointing at me," Shannon Faires said as she made a gun with her thumb and forefinger.

"It sounds like it hurts," Faires said after she heard paintballs slap against metal targets on the firing range.

Janet Brown, another "newbie," voiced her fears.

"I couldn't get thegun out of the holster ... I'm dead," she said. "I'm looking forward to lunch. I'm scared to death about getting shot."

Veteran player Wayne "Iceman" Samuel tried to calm her fears.

"If you'll run over there real quick, I'll shoot you so you know what it's like."

Then, after a game rules briefing, the paint war began.

The two teams, each with an orange-vested referee,

WEEKLY MUSING-Smok·i ng hard habit to kick Heather Arnold Reporter Why does typing always give me the urge to reach for a cigarette? It used to be a journalist wasn't normal unless he combined his compulsion for writing with smoking.

But smokers are a dying breed, slowly becoming an extinct human species.

So as I write, I am craving a cigarette. I am an addict. They say the first 48 hours are the toughest for withdrawal symptoms. Once you get past that, you're on your way to quitting. So why, after 96 hours do I feel like I've been run over by a funeral motorcade? I guess better now than later. I tell myself, I don't want to die.

They say quitting smoking is the hardest thing you'll ever achieve in a lifetime and the younger you start, the greater the addiction.

When I was 15, I saw a poster that said, "Smoking is Glamorous" which then depicted a 300-pound man looking as if he walked straight out of your worst nightmare, possessing every bad feature one human being can possibly have, receding hairline complete with lice, potbelly, baggy bloodshot hound dog eyes and finally topped off with a cigarette butt stuck to the side of his suckerfish mouth. But tl:i'e tactic didn't work because I thought I could smoke 20 Cuban cigars a day and still not look like that wierdo-from-hell.

Did you know that nicotine goes through the veins and hits your system faster than cocaine or heroin? It's an instant fix. What you're actually doing is putting poison in your life-sustaining system and slowly killing yourself. You are saying, "here body, have some more pollution, here's some nice carbon monoxide and nicotine for you."

Your body has been trained to listen to the brain; it doesn't know of its intent to kill it, so it trustingly takes it in.

For inspiration I try the ol' high school beginning driver's education scare-film tactic. I walk to a nearby cancer hospital. Walking down an exorcist-green hallway, I peer into a small room and see a woman dying of emphysema. She is in the latter stages of the disease and looks God-awful. Lung and heart disease posters of the living dead line the walls.

Ironically, nurses on break smoke away at a nearby lounge. Why are we so stupid?

Don' t we realize we are slowly committing mass suicide? Cancer is the primary killer of human beings.

I remember a television documentary in which a woman recalls her husband's last words, "If only I could have another breath, just one more breath."

Smoking sneaks up on you worSe than even my devilish little brother who waits behind cfoors to yell "boo" when I least expect it. Pretty soon, smoking not only becomes a physical addiction but an emotional one as well.

It's harder to fight off a cold, your clothes and hair smell like an ash tray from some adolescent's all-night party and even your dentist recommends toothpaste for smokers, the final affirmation that you now are a member of the smoking population. · The best remedy for me is to try and associate smoking with a depressing image or experience. I remember getting lost in north Boulder, I must have traveled the same circle of never-ending mobile homes at least three times. I thought I'd never get out of that rat maze.

But one thing that struck me was that no matter how similar each mobile home was, they paled in comparison to what their residents shared. They all sat on their aluminum steps in front of their aluminum doors, holding aluminum cans, SMOKING. Smoking, it seemed, helped them pass the time away.

What do prison inmates do? Smoke.

Why is it that it's always the things that are bad for you that don't discriminate?

Smoking cuts any barriers of race, class or sex. I want to know why all the people in , smoking ads are having so much fun. That lady in the hospital didn't look like she was having much fun.

It's tragic that every year the tobacco comoanies lose 350,000 of their best CU$tomers - to death.

Mitchell admits that the system may need some revision, but stands by her conviction that students probably aren't adversely affected.

"It may be inherently unfair," she said, adding that the percentage of borrowers other than students simply isn't high enough.

Mitchell said there may be a problem with the periodical check-out policy.

'Shame' heroine sticks to he'r guris Chad Morris

Government Editor

Take the classic western movie "Shane" and replace Alan Ladd riding into town on his horse with a leather clad woman on·a ' motorcycle and you'll begin to go where the Australian film "Shame: wants to you..

Billed as a "feministlwestern:" 'tne film : uses the western genre to comment on some serious social issues revolving aropnd rape. · At the same time it builds suspense and action, drawing the audience in and leaving it on the edge of its seat.

take

.The film opens with the heroine, Asta Cadell, played by Deborra-Lee Furness, zipping along the highway on her souped-up motorcycle. After a run-in with a herd of goats, she limps into the nearest town - the sleepy vale of Ginborak - to get her bike fixed.

Upol)' arriving, she is accosted by a drunkeii, underaged group of boys hanging out in front of the local pub. After leers, jeers and a ton of sexual inuendo on their part, Asta realizes this may not be a typical small town.

It is not.

off'Blt 'fl Steaks ~(/-

In Ginborak, it is commonplace for women to be sexually terrorized by men, and they do not go out at night. They know something will happen. And in this film, something always does - with chilling consistency.

The concepfof shame, as one might guess from the title, is a prevalent theme in the . filD,1. There is a feeling throughout the movie that the women should be ashamed of the .fact that they are women. They are expected to endure brutal treatment because they are women and, as one male character says, no one can keep boys from doing what comes naturally to them.

I have never known rape and assault to be natural behavior.

Now so far. we've got the makings of a pretty good action movie (Sylvester Stallone has used far less plot than this In his last three)- sort of a 'Road Warrior' western.

Bar and Grill

Yet, sadly, the women accept their condition as the status quo. To live with constant degradation and physical abuse seems a miserable life indeed, but because . it's standard practice throughout the whole town, they see no solution to their problem.

- Until Asta rolls into town.

Standing in the pub surrounded by most of the town's male population, one can see her size up the situation and realize something must be done.

Now so far, we've got the makings of a pretty good action movie (Sylvester Stallone has used far less plot than this in his last three) - sort of a "Road Warrior" western.

But there's more, as is always the case with movies of this caliber. · At the mechanic's shop, Asta finds she will have to wait overnight for motorcycle parts. She arranges to stay at the mechanic's home and, in the process, discovers that his daughter has been raped by a group of local boys.

The girl is terrified of everyone and resentful of her father, whom she seems to hold responsible for what's happened to her. Asta soon finds that this outlook is held by most women in town.

During the evening of the next day, Asta is attacked by three boys while on her way to the train s_tation to pick up her motorcycle. parts. When she tries to press charges, the local sheriff laughs (of course) and basically tells her "boys will. be boys." She then ~eatens to charge thesheriffwith dereliction of duty and we find out that Asta is not another pretty face. She's a barrister (that's Australian for lawyer.)

Npw, just like when the bad guys in "Shane" find-out Alan Ladd isn't a farmer but a gunfighter, the bad boys in "Shame" find out they could be in a heap of trouble.

Asta is not someone they can intimidate or threaten and that's when this movie really heats up.

Asta persuades the mechanic's daughter to press charges against the boys who raped her. The girl does, and even though she's ostracized by most ofthe town, she admirably sticks to her guns.

Without giving away the ending, let's just say justice is somewhat served, but is greatly tinged with tragedy.

As one might tell, this movie has a definite feminist slant. The men are either drunken psycho-children or wimps, like the mechanic, and the women are like revolutionaires waiting for a leader to appear and free them.

However, there are no dramatic speeches on the virtues of feminism. Instead, director Steve Jodrell relies on realistic photography and action combined with sometimes chilling characters to promote the ideals of this film.

The result is a suspenseful, haunting film about the affects of rape and the shame that often accompanies it. It also demonstrates the necessity of being in control of one's own life, which is a message that can apply to more than just feminists. o

Cigarette sales controversy not as a piece of anti-smoking legislation, but as a means to make money more efficiently in the convenience store. ~ Cigarettes would be replaced by packaged snacks and a greater selection of greeting cards and gifts. The $16,000 made by the store from cigarette sales could be easily made up by sales of these newer and health- · . ier items.

Minney Is not worried about the ~ible I~ of income, either.

"It's not a lot of money when you have a budget of $8 million," she said And she agrees that sales of other items would make up the difference.

smoking on campus," Cecelia A. Turner, a Metro English history major, said, "to carry it to the point where there is no smoking on campus is un-American."

Turner also said that she hasn't bought cigarettes from the convenience store in the four years she's gone to school here. Banning cigarette sales would not stop people from getting them elsewhere, she said On the other hand, DeWitt said that smokers have said if they couldn't buy cigarettes on campus, it would make it easier to quit As a compromise, DeWitt has suggested that a public forum be held Speakers for both sides could be brought in to debate the issue on campus.

As things stand now, this battle is far from over. Really the armies, pro-smoking vs. anti-smoking, are just gathering. o

Lady 'runners kick SMU John Gegner Sports Editor

Metro's Cindi Weishapl scored her second goal of the game with one minute and 39 seconds remaining in the second half as the women's soccer team edged Southern Methodist University 3-2 Saturday in the season home opener.

In defeating SMU's Mustangs in a tough physical game, the Roadrunners ran their season record to 2-0 against a team ranked No. 20 in the NCAA Division I preseason poll. This was the third straight year MSC topped the Mustangs.

"They know they can play with some of the best in the country," MSC coach Ed Montojo said of his team.

Freshman Bridgette Liesure got the Roadrunners on the board at 16:38 in the first half when she seared a goal assisted by Lynette Graul. Playing into a stiff wind, MSC held the Mustangs in check until Kelli Greene scored off a corner kick play at 21:42. Metro goalie Jan Holland appeared to have made the save, but the official ruled the ball was beyond the goal line as Holland fell backward making the stop.

The score remained tied at 1-1 when the halftime whistle sounded. The Roadrunners, having battled the wind and SMU to a draw, looked forward to the second half with a wind advantage.

Metro's Cindi Wel1h1pl 118) l11d1 Roadrunnen to 3-2 win over SMU.

12:30 mark when she scored from the left side assisted by Monica Wenston. Montojo said the team had worked on the scoring play the day before by flooding the right side of the field and then breaking Weishapl across from the left.

SMU answered the Roadrunners' tally nearly 11 minutes later when Kathy Patterson scored on a set play off a comer kick at 23:21. Montojo said the Mustangs worked. their set plays real well during the game.

With the.score tied and the clock winding down, MSC faced its second straight overtime. But the Roadrunners worked the tloodright play again as Weishapl scored her second goal at 43:21 to seal the victory. Jami Cobb assisted on the score.

It was another great team effort, Montojo said after the game.

The Roadrunners overcame injuries to <fr Graul, who suffered a bruised arch and sat out the second hal~ and Linda Thompson, who went out in the second half after being kick in the ankle that she had surgery on last year. Both players should be back for the next game.

"Cindi Weishapl had a really good game," ~ Montojo said of his junior tri-captain.

Montojo said another k~y to the victory was moving Cobb to center midfield when Graul went out with her injury. Cobb normally plays on the right side.

"We do what we have to do to win," ., Montojo said. "Our women are really into playing well." o
