Merger gets axe

~Summit.

After months of debates and deliberations, Auraria officials have finally developed what they think is a solution to Auraria's problems.

Because Auraria officials could not agree

hammers out deal

on solutions presented in the Patterson report, David Longanecker, executive director of the Colorado Commission on Higher E.ducation, ordered a committee to be formed to further look into management problems on the campus. This summit was supposed to find a solution which would be acceptable toeve one.

Members of the committee included Gordon Gee, University of Colorado president, Morgan Sinitb, executive路director of Auraria Higher E.ducation Center and Jerome Wartgow, president of Colorado's community colleges.

"We searched not so much for a comrnative ro that

would meet several criteria," Longanecker said.

The summit decided to replace AHEC, Auraria's present governing body, with a . new board. The new board would include 111 Sununlt pg.

Woman sexually assaulted near tracks Gabrielle Johnston News Editor

T

A CU-Denver student was sexually assaulted Dec. 2, and the following day two young boyswere attacked in the free parking area located by the railroad tracks.

The woman, whose name cannot be released, was attacked Friday at approximately 6 p.m. The assailant, who was descnbed as a white male, beat the woman's head against her car, attempted strangulation and tried to rape her.

"She was not, to our knowledge, raped," said Lolly Ferguson, administrative officer of Auraria Public Safety.

It is unknown, at this time, what stopped

the assailant According to Detective Page Lyda of the Denver Police Department, the woman cannot remember exac~ly what happened due to her injuries.

The woman was admitted to Denver General Hospital Friday nij!:ht for bead injuries and was released later that night.

The next day, two young boys were assaulted. Fergus0n said it is possible the assailant of the young b~ wan--transient Lyda said the twc;.~, are unrelated.

Ferguson said police do have leads on suspects for the sexual assault, but no information could be given a~tune.

She is urging students nof to park by the railroad tracks due to the lack of security.路 "Avoid that area," Ferguson said. "At least one person, maybe more, is being

pretty violent back there," she said.

However, Ferguson said ifstudents choose not to heed the advice, they should use extreme caution when parking by the tracks.

"We recommend that if they do park there, they don't walk alone," she said.

In addition, Ferguson said students should be aware of their surroundings and leave the area immediately if they see anything suspicious.

"Our concern from Public Safety is the numbers of people who park there," Ferguson said.

In addition to the assaults, a dead body was found in the same area Oct. 16 of this year. Ferguson said the person ~ibly died from exposure. The incident was not campus related. o

Auraria Higher Education Center's loss will be Colorado international trade's gain.

Morgan Smith, AHEC's executive director, will take on a position as Colorado director of international trade in January at the request of Gov. Roy Romer.

"1 wantfdMorpn in this illaper~ tant post because of bis broad experience in a number of areas, including foreign trade, education, business and state government," said Romer.

Smith said he is looking forwa~d ~ to bis new job.

"This is an exciting challenge for me," Smith said. "But l)1~ftfil regrets about leaVing.Aura"1'his place has tremendous energy and vitality apd is full of dedicatc4 hard-worlrinsz people."

Smith will be taking an $18,000per-year pay cut with the international trade director's position, bu t.... said that is not important. "rve done it [left for a lesserpaying job] before three or four times. This is something I really want to do in my life," he said.

Just when you thought it was safe to forget about MSC Student Government and let them spend the semester fighting amongst themselves, they go off and do something that resembles what they're sup~ to be doing.

They've taken an interest in local and current affairs. Namely, the recent scandal . around the athletics department A couple weeks ago, the members of the Student Government Officers Forum decided it was time that they take a stand on this issue since it affects the students they represent and could indicate some kind of mismanagement on the part of the administration -a f.avorite (and might I add, often deserving) target all year.

Sen. Jim Manuel was asked to draft a letter to send to Bill Helman, director of intercollegiate athletics, asking for details about where the athletics department has been spending all its money.

They were not impressed with the fact that Helman could not answer the question put to him by a Metropolitan reporter about where money came from to cover scholarship shortfalls. In the letter they state that they think Helman should be aware of such things, seeing bow he's the director of the department So they have asked that Helman give them copies of several items that will explain where athletics gets its money. This would

include breakdown of the $13 50 athletic fee charged to students every semester, financial aid to players and any money contnbuted by alumni or other such donations.

In addition, they want gate receipts, travel budgets, housing and food allowances and funds spent or acquired for athletics or athletes at MSC. Whew! They don't want much do they?

Well, as I said before, they are concerned about this. They don't want to sec Metro's name added to the current list of colleges involved in some kind of athletics scandal. &pecially a school with as small-an athletics program as ours is.

And who can blame them? Metro has enough problems without adding something like this to the fire. .

However, Student Government is not out on a witch bunt. They simply want to know what's going on, according to Chief of Staff Dan Becker. He said they aren't looking into things to raise a big stink, but to find out what's being done with the money and what the solution is.

"We need to have a good ruscussion with Helman," he said Helman seems to agree with this idea. At the Dec. 5 meeting of the Student Affairs Board, he told them that after the first of the year, be will give them a status report on the athletics department So, for now, the final word seems to be that since the initial panic of this issue has begun to die down, people are actually going to do the sensible thing - sit down and talk D the damn thing out

Students bring big bucks "' Alan Farb & Jana Cohlmia Bolstered by the removal of a cap on the number of students allowed into Metro, the college's treasury has increased by $4.1 -i million for the current academic year.

The enrollment cap, placed in 1985 by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, was lifted in the spring of 1988.

And while some of the additional funds are earmarked for the direct benefit of students, the bulk of the money has been ~. allocated for such things as faculty and nonfaculty raises, new administrative personnel, faculty computers and computer training and the long-ranging planning of Metro's needs and goals.

Money from these funds also paid for < $30,000 of the $36,000 spent to remodel MSC President Thomas Brewer's office.

The$4.l million windfall helped increase faculty wages an average 7 percent, with the highest increase being 14 percent, said Tim Greene, interim vice president of business 4.affairs. Part-time teachers were given an average 8-percent increase, while administrators, including deans and vice presidents, averaged a 6-percent raise.

Brewer's office remodeling expenses were taken out of the $350,000 allocated for a

new administrative division - the office of long-range planning. But because Metro is unsure about its future status, no one has been hired for the $50,000 to $60,000 a year job. The money saved by the unfilled pcEtion was used toward the remodeling prqject A total of 616 new students gained admission into Metro since the cap was lifted by the Board of Trustees, Metro's governing board. This created more than half of the $4.1 million increase in state funding. The remainder was an increase approved by the trustees to offset inflation.

Metro is the largest of the four state colleges governed by the trustees. It has traditionally been considered the "cash cow" for the other schools, Greene said. In the past, Metro has received less funding from the trustees than the other three colleges because of lower enrollment at the other colleges.

"I think our board recognized that we needed to be funded more," Greene said.

Greene said the board increased the funding, in part, because Metro had spelled out its needs better - that is, more equipment, faculty and student services.

"We did need to improve the [explanation] of our true priority needs," Greene said.

Metro has 16,000 students, 429 of which

pay out-of-state tuition rates. The college receives state funding based only on its instate enrollment.

More than $1 million of the increased funds go directly toward student support.

Twenty-six new full-time faculty members have been added at a cost of about $870,000, according to the .I 988-89 budget allocation of these additional funds. This translates to an average salary and benefit package of $37,000 per full-time teacher per year.

Bickering between professors over use of an MSC microcomputer lab has ca~ administrators to once again evaluate space usage on campus.

Both faculty and students have said the lab, located in West Classroom 224B, is not

being used efficiently because it is also being used as a classroom, according to Larry Johnson, dean of Letters, Arts and Sciences.

The facility, one of 11 at MSC, has 24 Macintosh SE personal computers and is ' primarily used by the journalism and English departments.

The complaints center around the lab being used as a classroom because the com-

puters are not in continuous use.

"When classes are in there, they [students] need to be on the computer," Johnson said.

However, according to Deborah Hurley, llliâ&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘,ofessor of joilrnalism, fall semester 1988 is the first time computers have been used in the journalism department, and instructors haven't had time to fully integrate computer use into the curriculum.

The English department, which has been teaching some of its 102 composition classes on computers in various campus labs for the last four years, schedules two classes at the same time and then alternates use of the lab, according to Megan McClard, associate professor of English. McClard said the journalism department should also alternate classes in the lab.

Hurley doesn't agree. "I see some real problems with that," Hurley said. "In some classes, you're on the computers for part of every class period.

The Dean's office and Academic Computing are evaluating both the use and average class size in the lab to determine a course of action, but no steps have yet been taken to solve the problem. o

Lot T out of the dark, complaints cool Cory Cason Complaints about campus parking are nothing new, but Lot T and the satellite parking lot near McNichols Arena have been ¡ particular sore spots this semester.

Night students were ticketed for parking in Lot T before Nov. 7, when lights were installed, "for their own safety" said Randy Ready, AHEC parking systems manager.

Students were then directed to the McNichols shuttle parking area where lights were in place, but not being turned on.

"The problem was out of our hands,"

Ready said. "Those lots are owned by the city; they are not AHEC property. We use them in exchange for services [snow removal, cleaning, etc]."

Ready said that disputes between contractors and city and public service officials left the areas in the dark.

"The city said that lights would be on by the first Bronco game," said Ready. But that didn't help the students who were ticketed for parking in one dark lot that was on campus an9 forced into another dark lot that was farther away. They were still concerned fnr ~heir safetv.

as a direct result of lifting the enrollment restrictions. Additionally, two financial aid office positions have been added.

"We want to improve the quality of the experience for students and faculty at Mrtro," Greene said. "Wd want to give a reasonable amount of dollars for students. You budget Metro to provide the quality education it needs." o

assaults or thefts in those areas, night-time parking had problems elsewhere.

Darkness played a part in the theft of a student's Honda Scooter, which was parked in Lot H. At the end of daylight-saving time, the automatic timers for the lights were not adjusted. The scooter had to be left in darkness for an hour, and that's when the theft is believed to have occurred.

"AHEC was awfully irresponsible," said Kathleen Mitchell, the scooter's owner. The scooter was eventually returned, but had been totaled.

Brewer accepts first-ever award for adult learning Richard Sclbelll Jr. Reporter

In a formal presentation at the governor's mansion Nov. 10, MSC President Thomas Brewer accepted the first annual Pathfinders Award in behalf of Metro's Adult Learning Services.

The Colorado Institutional Pathfinders A)vard was presented to MSC in recognition and appreciation for exemplary service to and continuing education of U S West Communications, Inc. employees.

"We have enrolled the largest numberofU S Westemployeesin the state of Colorado and the fourth largest in the Southwest," said Andy Breckel, assistant vice president for off-campus programs.

"MSC has responded to the needs ofU .S. West employees," he said.

The Pathfinder Award, which Brewer presented to the Adult Leaming Center on Nov. 29, is in conjunction with the Pathways to the Future Program. This program assists U.S. West employees with future career and educational goals.

The program was administered by the Council for Adult and Experimental Learning, a nationwide network of educational institutions. Metro has been involved with CAEL since 1975.

"The most important significance (of the Pathfinder] is that this really does demonstrate that MSC is succeeding as an urban college," Breckel said. o

At the end of the movie "Platoon," Charlie Sheen is lifted out of Vietnam in a helicopter, appearing in disbelief that the war is over for him. At the moment of realization that it's truly over, he holds a fist in the air, to say "I MADE IT, somehow, incredibly, I made it through this whole mess."

As a senior looking back at my college experience, I find myself identifying with that feeling. I, too, learned some powerful lessons at Metro. I made it through the inane, irrelevant required courses and swallowed poison numerous times in order to graduate. For instance, my whole graduation depended upon turning in three designs of Helen Keller's house, because of a stagecraft requirement for broadcast students. I just don't get it.

Yet, I think the most powerful message I received is also the one that saddens me the most. It really bothers me that this is what I will remember from college.

The message was clear: To be successful, one has to conform. It became immediately apparent in the beginning that those who conformed got ahead. The ones who did not challenge someone's idea of a requirement, and molded themselves to a syllabus, consistently got the highest grades.

What kind of a message does this give to people? If it is true that college mirrors the larger society, then the memge is the same.

Don't cause waves, play the game, fit in, conform to what is required and you'll succeed. Some of our greatest artists are just that because they had the guts to ignore this idea.

College no longer is viewed as a creative learning experience, a place where students can experiment or be absorbed in the richness of history and the world. College should be a place where people can go to reflect and to share ideas, but instead this college has lost itself and has become just another

money-making business. Costs for books and tuition have soared while the emphasis on quality learning, individuality, creativity and personal expression has dwindled. ;r Still I have learned. I have learned to play the· game. Every semester, I gather with other players in a small room where a referee hands out a list of game rules known as a "syllabus." Each play is worth a certain number of points. All the rules are decided beforehand, without the players knowledge, .... by the referee, who dedcides what is "important." When the game is over, the players who learned the rules and stayed in the game celebrate in funny costumes with tassled hats and are handed a piece of paper. A successful game player is then able to show a pros- .., pective employer this piece of paper, which indicates that they are ready to begin the advanced version of the game: Trivial Office Politics.

We need to stand back and question what we are learning here. Ifstudents were polled, J. how many would say that they have taken more than one needless and meaningless class.

What are we so afraid ofl Why have we become so frightened in this supposedly free intellectual environment? · ~ Perhaps the Reagan administration, with its theory of "let's leave things the way they are," has negatively contributed to what I call the kiss-ass syndrome. If all the kissasses are getting ahead, does that mean they will be ruling the world eventually? What becomes of those who have human dignity ...r and strength? From our brothers and sisters of the 60 s, we learned that we need to · unite and make changes. Maybe with the 80s "me" generation, we have lost faith in the power of unity.

Metro has many changes to make in order ..; to begin to compare favorably with other institutions. We are not taught or encouraged to have a vigorous voice or real leadership skills. We are taught how to survive, how to conform, how to give people what they want, how to bend to others' arbitrary _. rules.

We have become so brainwashed by this institution that we can't see how we have built an invisible prison around ourselves, with subtle yet iron walls that have become transparent because we no longer recognize what has happened to us. o """

MSC gets gift of flight Elena Frldland Reporter

MSC is getting a $65,000 toy, but will have to wait awhile to play with it.

Bob Hager, whose daughter attends Metro, has donated an unassembled model of a plane called Long EZE. It is a gas efficient two-seater that will take students about two + .semesters to assemble.

"I had the plane for a couple of years.

[Putting it together] was going slowly and it was really basic: it would sit in the garage and would have never been completed," Hager said. He advertised it in the paper but .... received few responses. So he decided to give it away. , "My wife and I toured this school a while ago and we liked it. So I decided to donate it here for people to get interested in this science [of constructing airplanes]. It's also tax deductible," he said laughing.

Bob Mock, chairman of the aerospace department, doesn't seem to care what motivated Hager to give such a gift to Metro.

He's just glad it happened.

"Hopefully, after we assemble it, we'll sell it to get money for more models. And maybe we'll get other people to donate and we'll become airplane manufacturers," Mock said.

The assembly of this airplane will be offered as a 300-level class taught by three teachers from two departments; aerospace science and industrial technology.

Although chances are students will not get to fly the airplane (Mock said that the lawyers will be consulted about this), he hopes that it will start a love affair between students and the greater Denver community when other individuals see fit to donate more for the future.

MSC teacher designs allergic wife's safe haven Laura High Reporter

The house Alex Delgado spent four years building is saving his wife's life.

Joan Delgado was diagnosed as suffering from severe allergies that would kill her unless she was put into a chemical-free environment. The problem was that such a place didn't exist.

Delgado had overcome many difficulties in his life, and he wasn't going to let this one stop him. His determination resulted in the development of a revolutionary new kind of housing. Environmentally controlled living units (ECLUs) are designed to serve as a refuge for sufferers of environmental illness.

Also known as toxic building syndrome, the disease causes people to develop allergies to fumes, chemicals, molds and other substances found in homes, apartments and buildings of all kinds.

From his office in the Department of Human Ser.vices at MSC, Delgado tells how he sought the advice of Soviet scientists who had contributed to the Salyut Soyuz space missions. He also enlisted the services of the chief adviser to NASA to get his data on clean environment technology. With their

help and that of architects and scientists from all over the world, Delgado gained the information ne~ry to build his wife the safe haven she needed.

Delgado now teaches, at MSC, the only class on EI offered anywhere in the country, based on the experience he and Joan have had battling her disease. In a way, the class has brought him full circle in his history at MSC. InJanuary 1%7 Delgadobeganattending college at Metro after a long absence from school. He only had a ninth-grade education and a GED when he started back.

"I wasn'tgoing to go in," he said, recalling his first day of school. "I felt I couldn't make it I hadn't been in school for 16 years."

As he hesitated in front of the school an instructor stopped to talk to him, Delgado said. The man told him he would never know what he could do ifhe didn't try, took him by the arm and led him into the building.

"That kind ofcaring was typical of Metro in those days," Delgado said.

"You could see the hand of the Lord working through the things I was accomplishing," he said.

"They gave me the last rites twice," Delgado said, referring to the time he contracted double viral pneumonia. He was in a coma for 11 days and was not expected to survive.

Extensive brain damage was predicted if he did.

"An emergency tracheotomy saved my

Info interviewing way to ensure job happiness Karen Goldle Reporter

You're about to receive your degree.

You're thrilled. You're excited. But you still don't know what to do next. ?r Or, you want to make a career change but you need to find out some particulars about the area you're interested in before you take that first step.

It's time to do some information interviewing, according to Katherine Goldberg, career planning coordinator for the Office of Career Services at the Auraria Student Assistance Center.

Goldberg said infollllation interviewing helps people decide if a job would be right for them. Through such interviews, they can find out the "nuts and bolts" of the job -

what it's like on a day-to-day basis. In addition, she said one of the most important benefits of an information interview is exposing your false assumptions about a particular job. They are also helpful in identifying ~r~ that.are 1Jo9piing and those that are dying, she added.

Goldberg said information interviewing also allows prospective employees to obtain an insider's opinion on skills or abilities that are important for a job, which may not be obvious. For example, she recently interviewed a nuclear magnetic resonance [a form of X-ray] technician and found out that to do the job, you must be able to lift 60 to 70 pounds.

It's important to talk with the person who has the type of job you're considering and is successful in it, she said.You wouldn't set up

an information interview with a radiologist if you are interested in becoming an X-ray technician, for example, because the two jobs are completely different.

She said the newspaper lifestyle sections , and local bµsiness magazines are good sour·~ ces to consult for potential contacts. To find out what people are doing and what is interesting, Goldberg suggested students read the newspaper in a new way: not just for content, but for interest.

"Read how people got started in their businesses," she said.

In an information interview, the roles are switched: the potential employee asks for the interview and structures it. Goldberg said open-ended questions provide the most information.

For example, it's better to ask, "What

What are the major trends, changes, or ~ issues facing your organization or industry?

What professional organizations or journals do you suggest?" · Goldberg suggested studying the environment of the office, too. Do the people seem relaxed or stressed ?

Goldberg warned against trying to tum an -. . information interview into a job interview.

"If you're there for a job interview, say so up front," she said. Employers get angry and feel used if they have agreed to an information interview and, halfway through the discussion, the person asks for a job, she , said.

Student government: athletics, own up!

Dear Mr. Helman: Members of the ASMSC respectfully request that you make available any and all financial records pertaining to, in any form or fashion, the MSC athletic department.

We specifically would be interested in reviewing all areas from which the department receives funds. These areas should include the $13.50 athletic fee; any monies originating from the college includifl9 monies from state fund reserves; any financial aid gained for players through the financial aid office of the school; and any money gained through contributions from other sources including alumni contributions and any other donations received by the athletic department.

Your records should also include gate receipts; travel budgets; housirg and food allowances and any and all funds spent or acquired for the purpose of athletics or athletes of MSC. Also, please include current FAS expenditure printouts.

We are concerned by recent conflicting reports in The Metropolitan and The Denver Post detailing deficits or shortfalls in the athletic department. ft is not clear to us or, we believe, the students of the school , how much money is being spent on athletic programs at the

school and where that money comes from.

We are especially concerned about a report in the Oct. 28, 1988 issue of The Metropolitan where you were asked to explain where money to cover scholarship shortfalls came from. You were unable to identify the source, according to the paper.

It is our belief that an athletic director should be fully aware of where all his program's money originates and where it is spent, especially when much of that money is derived from student fees Problems at college and university athletic programs throughout the country are reported almost daily in most newspapers. It is our hope that MSC is not beginning to place an undue priority on an athletic program that would result in fiscal mismanagement.

We hope examining your financial records and meeting with you and any other persons invlolved with the athletic program will lead to a satisfactory mutual understanqing of the role of athletics and its funding at MSC.

As I sit here, being fanned gently by exotic maidens in skimpy sarongs, sipping blue drinks with little pink umbrellas in them, on my Metropolitan-provided vacation, I am forced to reflect on the things that are going on back at the MSC Ranch.

Well, Auraria Executive Director Morgan Smith is leaving, talcing the position of Colorado Director of International Trade.

Whew. Sounds like pretty heady stuff. Hey Morgan you wild man, don't forget all us little people while you're galloping around the globe with Roy, OK? This leaves us with the obvious question: Who will take this man's place? Will anyone have to? By the time that we all get back after the break, it could be a moot point. U AHEC is disbanded, Morgan Smith will represent the first casualty to find some other job.

Metro President Thomas Brewer has been remaining unscrupulously silent on this whole thing. Sitting behind those heavy, polished oak doors, all he is willing to do is dangle carrots in front of the faces of those who are trying to get him to talk. The "summit meeting" (my, what a flashy, presumptuous title for a bunch of guys getting together in a donut shop somewhere) that took place between the major players in this merger thing has been a Pentagon-type secret for quite a while now. These guys all got together and tried to figure out some way to keep everybody involved in this "merger" mess happy and only came up with a rehash of what we lucky Auraria students have now. Who says the bureaucratic mentality doesn't lend itself to problem-solving?

Aside from all this power politics and career-building, not much unusual is going on around there. Just the usual: students stre~ out by finals, fighting over study space in the library and having Vivarininduced hallucinations and touchy librarians throwing them out into the cold. Nothing new.

They finally got the Auraria Parkway open, and as a service to students, a "Death Board" on the comer of the Parkway at Ninth Street will keep a running count of students struck and killed by speeding motorists as they try to ere:. the street.

Remember kids, let's use those crosswalks just like Blinky taught us when we were little, OK? Anyway, just to put this dog to bed, rd like to thank everyone who mads this column and say Merry Christmas to all of you. Especially you girls who have been sending your underwear to me through the mail. Really.

Have a Dire break. 111 see you in about a month. rn be the one with the tan.

Another solution to Auraria's pi • Here's how it all happened The Patterson report released in September, was the result of a study completed by Franklin Patterson and Associates, a Boston consulting firm. The study, ordered by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, looked into management problems at the Aruraia Campus and reccommended possible solutions to its problems.

Needless bickering about space, duplication of courses and competition for students were problems pinpointed in the report.

The report offers three options for solving the problem: • Merge all three institutions on campus. This option was disregarded almost immediately.

• Keep the three institutions on campus separate, and appoint Metro as the governing body and lanlord of Auraria.

• Merge MSC and CU-Denver into a single institution, keeping Community College of Denver a separate college.

The report recommended that the present governing body, the Auraria Higher Education Center, be disbanded in all options.

The staff of the CCHE, along with members of the Auraria Board, has recommended that Auraria adopt option three. However, MSC President Thomas Brewer and University of Colorado President Gordon Gee, have recommended option two. MSC Student government opinion is divided, with the majority opposed to the merger.

Since the report was released, there have been a series of meetings where Auraria officials and the public were given the opportunity to voice their concerns about the Patterson report.

During this time, a summit committee was formed,

"First, it needed to address serious management problems at Auraria. Second it needed to reduce competition for students and duplication of programs and third, it needed to establish a framework for defining and meeting the future higher education needs of Metropolitan Denver," Longanecker said.

"This will be a marked improvement over what we have now," said MSC President Thomas Brewer.

According to Brewer, the new board will be much more effective because the executive officer of the board will work more

closely with the three institutions than AHEC has in the past.

"It will be much more responsive to the educational goals of the three institutions," Brewer said.

Longanecker said that because the new board members would be closely associated with the schools, they would have a vested interest in guaranteeing excellence on the campus.

Some faculty members say they are concerned that the new board will simply replace AHEC without solving any of the problems.

"I don't accept that," Brewer said.

He said the new board will not be anything like AHEC, because it will work much

Student President Bruce DeWitt said, after hearing about the Summit recommendation, "Well, that's an interesting one."

The proposal, which most closely resembles model one of the Patterson report, surprised both DeWitt and student Sen. Andrew Patterson.

"I had always thought the choice was going to be between model two and model three," Patterson said. "Model one was disregarded almost from the start."

"I would say that we had the wool pulled over our eyes," DeWitt added.

The two also said that they did not see the difference between the new proposed board and the heirarchy that is currently in place.

"I am hard-pressed to see how we will be any better off under this new board than we are under the current one," DeWitt said. , Another concern voiced by the pair was that the proposed members of the new board will not have loyalties to the campus as a whole, but only to their respecitve institutions.

"I think this will only increase problems, not alleviate them," Patterson said.

"This entrusts the running of the campus to people who aren't even involved with it," DeWitt said.

The proposal would construct a new board consisting of, among others, CU President Gordon Gee, Houston Elam, president of the State Colleges in Colorado, and Jerry Wartgow, president ofthe Community College and Occupational Education System.

"What it really amounts to is them just ignoring the problems we have now and taking the easiest way out by just giving us a variation of what we already have," Patterson said.

Both said that the Auraria Executive Committee is already more responsive to the needs of students than such a new board is likely to be.

"I definitely think that we are being better served by the AEC than we could be by this new board," DeWitt said. o

With 206 solid pounds on a 5-foot 9-inch frame, you don't need the blue and green Team Adidas sweatsuit to tell Field Majors is an athlete.

Most people on campus know Majors as the bartender at The Mission. But that's just the surface. If you look a little deeper, you'll find a video producer, a social worker, a tennis instructor, a theater and dance enthusiast, a professional photographer and a bodybuilder. He just may be Auraria's renaissance man.

What do all these activities have in common?

"They're social activities to get people working together, and not be so negative," Majors says as he pops "The Mosquito Coast" into the VCR at the comer of the bar.

Majors bas been setting up pitchers of beer at The Mission for five years. He cites the students as the best part ofthe job. It's the apathy of those same students, however, that he calls the worst part of the job.

"They're supposed to be adults, but they don't take responsibility for changes that are going to affect them," Majors says in a disgusted tone.

"I was raised with caring and concern for other people, and that we're all alike, we all have the same needs, and we·all need one another's support."

Unfortunately, tragedy left the Majors family cynical.

"My family was really into that [caring] until my twin brother Frank got killed," Majors said.

He explains that it was during the Rev. Jim .Tones cult era that his brother died. " ;, 1 v brother spent some time in Guyana and ~ 11·~w some things about what was going

on down there, and before be could get the information back here, he was ~ted."

Majors believes the killing was political, that someone didn't want Frank to divulge """ the information be knew.

"He was tied to a tree in the hills of Redlands [California], and shot through the bead," Majors said bluntly. Nobody was ever brought to justice for the crime.

Such a happening could destroy any- r body's belief in humanity, but Majors con tinues his fight to bring people together.

Bodybuilding is one way he hopes to accomplish his goal. Majors runs Metro's bodybuilding program in coordination with Theater Under Glass, an MSC performing .< arts program, and the Fitness America health club chain.

"Bodybuilding interrelates with the social thing," is his philosophy. "It gets your body together, then you feel better, then you can communicate with others because you're .._ not so down on yourself." "' Video production is another medium Majors employs to introduce people to the bodybuilding lifestyle. He learned the craft at Laney College in California.

"I had a program called Ethnic Enterprises. We produced community service and .entertainment packages for KTVU in Oakland," he said.

Majors credits Laverda Allen, who worked at Laney College, as being a big influence in his life. · "She was instrumental in all that I do now ).

- she had so much energy," he said fondly.

It was at this same time that Majors learned about fighting for a cause. He was part of the Soledad Brothers, better known to the general population as the Black Panthers.

"I was involved with all of that. I worked with Angela Davis' sister," Majors says proudly.

Majors does his part in working with the youth and is very critical of the federal government action in this area. ~ "We're killing programs for the kids, and then wondering why they go bad," he said shaking his bead.

Majors is also critical of other aspects of our society.

"Our whole system goes in one direction, and that's monetarily to make some gain. It's r a system that looks at people's skin color, rather than what they can contribute. It's very demeaning. o

Mobility

a matter of the mind Mary Jane Fenex Reporter

Anatomy is not destiny.

This phrase epitomizes Steve Jordan's philosophy. Jordan, an MSC student, helped develop the nationally acclaimed book, "Spinal Network," which promotes self'i:" sufficiency for those confined to a wheelchair.

Jordan refuses to slow down, despite being paralyzed eight years ago. His home is equipped with an elevator, which he helped design, that carries him from his bedroom to a computer room in the basement. The ele._ vator resembles a large refrigerator crate hanging from a small cable.

Jordan, 25, was injured during a spinal operation he underwent for scoliosis. He was left partially paralyzed and dependent on a wheelchair for mobility. Despite his circumstances, he believes that "life is not what you can't do, but what you can do."

He wheels into- the elevator backward and reaches up to the controls on the right side of the unfinished wood wall. Jordan and two other passengers can barely squeeze in. The elevator's walls are covered with cartoons and posters; thick blue carpet spreads across the floor.

As it descends, the elevator moans and creaks like an old fire escape outside a rundown building. Jordan laughs at the expressions of first-time riders, who usually opt for an alternative route up the back stairs. Two of Jordan's sisters won't go near the elevator.

"They hate it," Jordan says with a Cheshire cat grin.

Jordan sits straight in his wheelchair in front of a long, broad window, which Y reveals a spectacular view of Red Rocks park, and talks about the book.

The idea for the book came about at a Christmas party in 1983 when be met Sam Maddox, a Boulder journalist.

"The information was out there but it wasn't compiled in one place," Jordan says.

Maddox did all the research, writing, editing and compiling of information for the book. Jordan supported his efforts by giving perspective to life in a wheelchair. He also contributed financial support and travel information, and he plans to attend conventions to promote the book.

13

The book covers the gamut for people with spinal injuries, from athletics and selfdefense to sexuality, medicine and much more. The biggest response to the book has come from lawyers who refer to it for answers to legal questions regarding people in wheelchairs.

Support from family and friends is important in adjusting to the wheelchair lifestyle.

Jordan, a brother and five sisters grew up in the house he lives in. His family still comes home often. Sitting in the large warm kitchen, his sister Julie leans on the edge of his wheelchair, her arm hanging over his frail shoulders. His sister Peggy sits on the other side of him. All sharing a beer, they look like a commercial, selling the benefits of family.

Jordan says many people feel that life has come to an end when they first find out they can't walk.

"Life isn't over and there are a lot of us, and we're all doing," he says.

For the past eight years, Jordan has been "doing." He's traveled nationally and internationally, and he's finishing a computer science degree, working on a new kind of motor for wheelchairs and designing a board game akin to Dungeon and Dragons, which he hopes to have on the market next year.

Eventually be would like to get involved in computer animation.

His accomplishments make it apparent that the elevator in his house and the wheelchair in which he sits are merely vehicles for physical mobility. They don't limit his aspirations.

The book is available at the Auraria Book Center, or by calling 1-800-338-5412. D

When Kourba Ghanbyar crossed the Pakistani border, she carried nothing of value except her life.

Gharibyar, her mother and her seven sisters and brothers abandoned their home in Kabul, Afghanistan one night in 1979. They began walking through the darkness toward Pakistan and away from Soviet domination.

"We walked three days and nights through rocks, trees and mountains to Pakistan. We were just one family in the 150 Afghanistan people who were trying to escape Soviet control that night," said the 21-year-old MSC student. A total of two million eventually escaped to Pakistan, she said.

In December 1979, 20,000 Soviet troops invaded Afganistan to·make sure the country would remain pro-<:ommunist. However, according to Gharibyar, the Soviets had other intentions.

"The Soviets made the people think they were coming to help us, but what they really wanted us for was as a passageway to the Islamic states." Koubra said she first felt the terror of war when she noticed some of her friends missing from a parade.

"Jamila and Nafisa were my fifth-grade best friends. They were killed by a bomb that was thrown into the crowd," she said.

Although it was never known who threw the bomb, Koubra remembers those friends and tries not to dwell upon their deaths.

"I remember my friends that are left, the ones that are still alive," she said, her dark brown eyes turning a watery black.

After the Soviet invasion, life changed

Kourba Gharlbyar dramatically for Ghanbyar. She began to live in a state of constant fear.

"There was no freedom of anything at all.

You didn't have a choice of doing anything.

You did what you were told. They [the Soviets] would go up to citizens on the street, and ask them if they agreed with the government. If they said no, they were tortured," she said.

Her school changed from its usual academic curriculum to a propaganda mill, she said. According to Gharibyar, English classes were automatically removed and replaced with classes in Marxist philosophy, morning marches and demonstrations. At the time, Koubra's father, Saidagul Gharibyar, was the country's chief of the Ministry of Education. He refused to go along with the communist rule.

"My father was in jail for two years for refusing to become a communist. He got out only by accident, when there was a change of presidents. Even then they were going to

jail him again, but he escaped to Pakistan ahead of us," she said.

However, to immigrate to the United States, the family had to find a sponsor. The pr~ took a few years. Sadly, refugees had to be somewhat wealthy to get a sponsor.

Those without funds stayed, and many died everyday from lack of food or water. ~· After obtaining a U.S. sponsor, it took six months of filling out forms, taking blood tests and obtaining passports for all nine family members to get permission to leave.

They took their first plane flight ever to Denver, where a U.S. sponsor awaited their arrival.

Gharibyar· said it was hard to adjust to American life. Not only was it necessary to learn English, but she also had to overcome many other obstacles.

"It was hard to sleep here at first, because there was no sense of security," she said. "It seems like a dream now."

She learned English in six months at a local junior high school. The school had a special program for foreign students learning English as a second language. She then attended North High School. She was _. immune to the peer pressure most high school students feel. She said a strong sense of identity, provided by her family and culture, helped her. · "They [Americans] think materialistically and judge people on how they dress. It -~ means nothing to judge people by those values. It really bothers me to see people living like that," she said.

- 'Scrooged' again .

Gift Certificates are available at the box office!

Chad Morris

Government Editor

The first holiday movie of the season is upon us, so get ready to be filled with warmth and good cheer for the next few weeks. .._ "Scrooged," starring Bill Murray, is a 20th century retelling of Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," with a few twists.

It seems only fitting that, in 1988, Scrooge is a television network president - greedy not for money, but ratings.

Like most of Murray's characters, Intert- National Broadcasting Corporation President Frank Cross is loud, arrogant and usually rude. Deep down, of course, we are supposed to suspect that he is really a nice guy trying to get out. Murray has gotten so good at playing these characters that it isn't _. surprising he does a good job as the 1988 model Scrooge.

The only real problem with Murray is that he seems too aware of what is suppooed to be happening to him. So even when he does change, the audience may have a hard ~ time believing it.

Every time he encounters a new ghost, he has a sarcastic remark about how they can't make him change. Yet after each encounter, he gradually changes into a better person.

Men's basketball tears up court at McNichols Metro won the Division II championship of the Mile High Classic by defeating Fort Lewis College 81-60 on Dec. 2 and Sports Editor Adams State College 71-56 the following day.

The MSC men's basketball team played under the bright For their efforts, the Roadrunners were rewarded with the lights of McNichols Sports Arena last weekend and, as an first trophy ever for the men's basketball program. Junior 'ldded bonus, brought home some decorative hardware for the forward Shun Tillman sparked Metro's attack and was named trophy case in Auraria Gym. most valuable player of the tournament. Heady stuff for the Roadrunners' push into big time college hoops.

The pair of victories helped avenge a 86-55 shellacking to seventh-ranked University of Illinois Nov. 29 and ran Metro's record to 3-1. The Roadrunners previously defeated Fort Lewis Nov. 19 at the season opener in Durango.

Metro started the game Friday against Fort Lewis as if hitting the century mark was a foregone conclusion and raced to a 16-6 lead, with only 4:51 expired on the clock. But the Raiders roared back, outscoring Metro 25-7 over the next eight minutes and 16 seconds to take a 31-23 lead. Eight unanswered MSC points tied the game, and the Roadrunners took the halftime lead 37-36 when forward Fred Brown hit two free throws with 53 seconds to go.

Forward Todd Javernick ignited Metro's offense by scoring the first six points of the second half. But Fort Lewis wouldn't fold. Raiders forward Jim Miller's three-point field goal 5:11 into the period cut MSC's lead to 50-48. The long-range bomb was Fort Lewis' last gasp, however, as Metro outscored the Raiders 31-12 over the last 14:49 of the game for a comfortable 81-60 win. tillman led MSC with 19 points and 12 rebounds while ... Javemick contributed 18 points and eight boards. Guard Gene s Edwards chipped in with 13 points. "' "Todd Javernick seemed to be everywhere," MSC coach :iii Bob Hull said after the game. "He really did a lot of things that ""'don't show up in the box score." ~ MSC played out a similar script the next day against Adams · ~ State. An early 14-2 lead evaporated to 34-30 with 3:44 left in the half. Metro held on to take a 37-33 lead into the Matro'a Lawis Rhona (30) and Fort lewis's Richard Hiiiyer 141) battle for intermission.

"Shun Tillman really broke out and started playing like he's capable of," said Hull. "He scored. He rebounded. He blocked shots. He played defense. He got the MVP unanimously."

When asked what he said at halftime to spark Metro's second-half dominance in both games, Hull downplayed his role.

"I think it's more the guys. This team ... they're determined.

ous MSC mistakes: spiking, passing and blocking errors became the norm.

"When one thing goes wrong, everything does," Tamblin said.

One factor that may have contributed to MSC's lack of cohesion and team play was the return of Darcie Matson and Nancy Kogle, Tamblin said. Both players were returning from injuries and were rusty.

"For Darcie, it was hard because she hadn't played in a match in over a month," she said.

Although MSC had its strongest athletes available for the game, they weren't at full strength.

"Dionna [Ward] and Heather[Hotchkiss] had both been sick all week," Tamblin said.

Tamblin wasn't making a lot of excuses though.

"West Texas_ played well," she said.

The MSC volleyball team lost its first round NCAA Division II playoff match to West Texas State Dec. 2.

The combination of MSC's poor play and West Texas State's solid effort ended MSC's season like a car hitting a brick wall.

Metro gave a gutty performance and stayed in the match early, but as the match wore on the Roadrunners became more unorganized and their play deteriorated.

MSC lost in four games 15-17, 15-13, 9-15, 3-15.

"They stopped talking to each other," coach Joan Tamblin said. "There was a little bit of confusion out there."

The lack of communication led to numer-

"They blocked really well."

"Our blocking hurt us," she said referring to the lack of front-line defense. MSC finished with only 11 team blocks.

Despite losing, Tamblin was happy with her team and the season. Her goals for the team had been to finish the season ranked somewhere between 15th and 20th and to be considered for the NCAA Division II playoffs.

"We reached those goals," she said.

"Looking back on it, it was a great season."

Tamblin is also encouraged about the prospects for next year's team. The team has only one senior - setter Verna Julaton and Tamblin is expecting everyone else to return.

"We'll have everybody back so those people will be that much better," she said. "I think it will be a really good year."

The large wooden dining table in the Ghanbyar home, with its nine chairs placed side by side, is symbolic of the close family connections at the center of an Islamic family.

"My family helped me overcome the crisis. Our bond is close. Family is everything.

I have 92 cousins that I know. My grandfather supported our move here by means of a family-owned busi.ness," she said.

Gharibyar has been in this country long ~nough to have formed some political opin10ns. Those opinions are influenced by the fact she has several family members fighting the Soviet occupation forces as members of the Mujahadeen, or Afghan freedom fighters, she said. Koubra said she feels the people of the United States should challenge their government when its leaders advocate prayer in the· schools.

"This reminds me of what the Soviets did in Afghanistaqi schools, removing people's freedom of choice." Anytime a government starts imposing beliefs on its people, they should remember what happened in Afganistan," she said. · Gharibyar is now a 3.0 student at Metro.

She has seerr ·m uch more than most 21-year-olds.

"Having such experiences made my life better. I value life more, and I know I can be strong and take anything without panic. I've picked up and started over when I had to, and I can do it again," she said. o

"I did," Delgado said, "and I can tell you my prayer was answered, because there gan a new strength in me."

In November 1%6, Alex Delgado walked out of the hospital.

After graduating from Metro, Delgado won a scholarship to DU. He was the first ·spanic to be admitted to DU's department · in 42 ears.

Delgado said if it hadn't been for his wife, he would never have started such a project.

But now that he's begun, he isn't stopping with just a house. He has already designed environmentally controlled passenger compartments for planes, trains and ships. He has also created designs for ECLUs to be used in space colonization.

But, after she overcame the shock of being spoken to in the typing room, Lynn Hatfield managed a few minutes of friendly conversation. She'd read "Brave New World" at the beginning of the semester, and had taken notes as well. The hard part was already done.
