· "We should launch the wastes of Rocky Flats off in a rocket and send it to the sun to get it off the planet," said MSC chemistry Professor Neils Schonbeck. But he admits .,.. that there is no easy, let alone feasible, solution to Rocky Flats economic, political and environmental problems. Schonbeck said Rocky Flats is a mess with radioactive and hazardous ·wastes. Rocky Flats is permitted 1,601 cubic yards ~ of waste, but no one is sure if they are keeping to their limitations, he said. "I think they are redefining waste so they can keep disposing," Schonbeck said Dr. Richard Lehman, chemistry professor at MSC, said that scientists can't decide whether there is or isn't contamination. "Different scientists from different departments test different areas of Rocky Flats, which makes them come to different conclusions on the safety ofliving standards in that area," Lehmann said The recent case of the late James Downing

who worked at Rocky Flats for 17~ · died of cancer of the ~phagus ~ any new light on the environmental h~ ~ue. Schonbeck said that this is because it is too hard to prove if radioactivity from Rocky Flats caused the cancer. Downing's widow is suing for compensation. Scientists have been doing studies of people from different areas around Rocky Flats, testing for similar illnesses and the degrees of the illness in certain areas, Schonbeck said However, he added that those tests are long term, over a 40-year span. For now, most testing is done with beagles, rats and mice. Doug Gallagher, who works at Rocky Flats, said that the precautions against radioactivity and other haz.ardous wastes at Rocky Flats are ~ful. The people who work in radioactive areas, he said, wear dosimeter bags [a device that measures the amount of X-rays or radioactivity absorbed] that are checked for radiation levels. And once a year every employee at Rocky Flats is tested for radiation by a body count detector that measures radiation from the lunp. Pregnant women

are not allowed to work in radioactive areas. Gallagher has worked at Rocky Flats for seven years and has always tested below the level of contamination, he said. "I would be more worried about working at Martin Marietta," Gallagher said However, Schonbeck disa8rees with Gallagher's opinion. "I don't believe it when people say Rocky Flats is safe," Schonbeck said, "nothing is totally safe from disaster, not even my own house is safe." Schonbeck said that the disagreement about R9,Cky Flats is between scientists who have been disciplined to be biased pronuclear. He said they downplay humanism. Radioactive chemicals are useful for energy, medical tests and for making bombs. Lehmann said. He added that Rocky Flats is a needed place and can be safe if scientists can agree on the danger of haz.ardous and radioactive waste and if Rocky Flats can stick to strict rules. "Radioactivity can be very toxic," Lehmann said, but he added that, "radioactive chemicals are too valuable in our society to quit using them." o

A Metropolitan State College spokesman said although MSC has a higher number of minorities in attendance than any other college in the state, the college is failing in retaining those minorities. "Getting minority students in college is one problem, helping them succeed in coll~e and continue tbrou&h to graduation is another," Michael Miera, assistant director of high school/community relations said Part of.Miera'sjob is to recruit minoritystudcnts to MSC. He said the college gives enough attention tp minority recruitment but not enough to minority retention. "We have retention committees, but not a retention office," he said "I really can't defend the college in that area. We're not doing the kind of job we should to retain students with special neem." Miera ~ however, that MSC is taking steps in the right direction to improve the situation. He explained that the college is in the pr~ of hiring a new administrative staff member whose main function will be to improve MSC's equal educational opportunity program for minorities. "Hopefully, when the J)OOtion's filled, the college can really start evaluating and analyzing the kind of resources being put into recruitment and retention," he said "After that evaluation ... there can be some recommendations for different activities and programs to help improve these areas. He said the biggest program aimed at improving retention is the Special Services Program, a federally funded program designed to help students once they're in I college. One of the problems with retaining minority students is that they are not prepared by the high schools, Miera said "They don't have the skills that they need to come into the institution and do well." Reflecting this unpreparedness are comments made by MSC minority students. "High school was like, God knows, kicking a can - but coming here you have to kick a boat," said 19-year-old Jonathan Kng.x, an MSC sophomore. He's a graduate of Denver's East High

Results of the accreditation will not be available for thirty days, after which Metro has a six-week period to challenge the survey, he said. The department of Leisure Services has been seeking accreditation since 1985, but the process takes several years. If Metro is accredited, the school will have to be reviewed again in 1989. Griffis was impressed with the survey team. "They gave us a good hard look," he said MSC is the only state college in Colorado to apply for this accreditation. Only 60 schools in the country have the accreditation, Griffis said Awarding of this accreditation will fulfill a long-term goal of Griffis' who was hired by MSC in 1971 to develop a recreation major.

Students who are thirsty for beer will have to wait a while for · the taps of the Larimer Street Mission, the on-ampus bar, to start flowing again. At noon on Friday, Sept. 15, beer service halted due to "technical difficulties" at the Mission. An expired liquor license is the technical difficulty. Emerson Holliday, director of Student Union Conference Services said that the license should be

restored "hopefully in a week, if it's just a glitch, if not, maybe up to 30 days." Student Union Services is back-tracking to see what the problem is. Barb W eiske, assistant division director said, "At this point it's not real clear [what the problem is] it does have to do with the renewal process."

The campus stands to lose money without the license. Tom Roarick, food service director said, "about ' $2,000 per week is about what the beer sales usually are." Lost revenues will be even higher, Roarick said, "because you have students who will go in [the Mission] to buy a piece of pizza and a beer. Without the beer, food sales will also suffer."

An on-site accreditation team was on campus Sept. 15 to review the requirements for two MSC leisure studies majors. The team reviewed MSC's requirements for the Park Recreation Administration and Therapeutic Recreation majors to determine whether they met requirements set by two professional as&>ciations, according to Dr. Furman C. Griffis of the MSC Department of Leisure Services. If Metro meets the standards, majors will be able to register with other as&>ciations, Griffis said. These associations are the National Park and Recreation Association and the National Therapeutic Association. Griffis said the accreditation team was impressed with MSC. "The committee was extremely pleased with the concept of MSC," he said "We had a good review." Griffis said the accreditation does mean new requirements for the two majors involved, and students with these majors should check with the Leisure Services Department.

Even if Metro does pass the review, the school will not receive the accreditation until the Congress of the American Aswciation of Health, Physical Recreation and Dance approves it, Griffis said

The Adult Children of Alroholics will hold regular meetings starting Oct. 3 through Nov. 21from3:30 to S p.m. in Student Union R!X>m 257. There is no charge to attend the meetings. and anyone on the Auraria Campus is welco~ to attend. Overeaters Anonymous will also hold regular meetings every Thur&day in the Library in Room 20S from noon to 1 p.m. For more information call Bridget at 333~3 . .

The Mission serves 3.2 percent beer to students who will be 21 as of June 30, 1990, when the state's grandfather clause, permitting the sale of 3.2 percent alcohol will expire. At that time the Mission will have to apply for a beer and wine license if it wishes to continue serving alcohol. Holliday said, "Since all the glitches are coming up we decided to just apply for the beer and wine license now." Student Union Services has not decided if they will stop serving 3.2 percent alcohol on campus before the grandfather clause expires if the beer and wine license is granted. A beer and wine license means just that, beer and wine only. "I don't think we'll ever get to mixed drinks," Holliday said Walter Street, a Metro senior went to the Boiler Room, a bar in the Tivoli, to get a beer. "It's a bad situation," Street said of the lack of beer at the Mission. Kay Peterson and Scott Reed, freshmen on the campus, said they were not as concerned over the l~.

What is your reaction to President Bush's war on drugs? Do you think it will work? If not, why? What would you change about the policy?

METRO POLIT AN

UCO prof shares China experience Betty Lewis The Metropolitan

Interest in China's pro-democracy movement continues to run high on campus. This was demonstrated recently when more than 100 students and faculty gathered for a slide show and discussion about the protests earlier this year in Shenyang and Beijing. Dr. Joel Edelstein of UCD's political science department shared first-hand student interviews and slides he took during the height of the demonstrations at Liaoning University in Shenyang, 500 miles northeast of Beijing, where he was an exchange teacher last spring. While teaching U.S. foreign relations there, Edelstein was close to many students involved in the demonstrations and learned directly about Chinese society and students' reasons for protesting. "It has been said that Chinese don't know what democracy is, but they want more of it," Edelstein said. Many students have their own perceptions ofdemocracy but, according to Edelstein, "accountability and free pr~ were their clearest requirements." Many of China's students believe democracy would destroy official government corruption and bring more equity to society by special privileges to those in power. Students consider a free pr~ an effective way to pressure corrupt officials into accountability. Edelstein descnbed the lack of accountability in China's government by citing the example of a factory unable to get electrical

power necessary for operation. Each day, employees arrived at 7:30 a.m. knowing they could be sent home in two hours if the factory had insufficient power. With nowhere to turn, the factory owner had to live with the problem because the government claimed that demand for power was too great thereby making it impossible to notify employers when power was unavailable. Edelstein described this as a prime example of the government's "we're so big, we don't have to care" attitude. In addition to free pr~ and accountability, students want officials chosen by free elections. They want a system in which those in power step down from their positions after a specific period, as opposed to the current system which allows officials to remain in power for many years. Edelstein recalled one evening early in the protests when some of his students who were listening to Voice of America broke into a spontaneous demonstration. ''They heard what was happening in Beijing and realized there was no leadership in the country," Edelstein ~d. When his students protested, he joined them. For participating. he was considered somewhat controversial by the university's administration. One morning after a demonstration, Edelstein's participation was the topic of discussion at an all-faculty meeting. He described the faculty as being cautious about joining the movement, expressing their concerns only in private. They voiced fears of what would happen if they spoke publicly. However, he knew many faculty

members who signed petitions in favor of the students. During the height of the demonstrations, most radio airwaves were jammed, making it difficult for students to get updates on developments in Tiananmen Square. To help dispel the many rumors, Edelstein prepared a daily news summary from the VOA and the BBC which were then translated and distnbuted to students. When asked whether he felt the demonstrations furthered or stalled the democracy

movement, Edelstein said it's still too early to know. Since returning to Denver in early June, he has not heard from any of his students. "The government has come down with such a firm hand against the movement, including public executions of student leadeis," he said. "Many of the leaders have gone into hiding."

Because of this, Edelstein believes it is still too dangerous for him to make contact. D

'1 METRO~~~I~ Journalist tackles corruption 6

Lyn Wazny Tfie Metropolifan

Danger, conflict and controversy are no strangers to investigative journalist Dale Van Atta. His persistence in tracking the truth has won him the scrutiny and fury of presidents, CIA directors and world leaders from Breshnev to Yassar Arafat The FBI has refused to release his file, and there was once an attempt on his life by renegade CIA agents. It was Van Atta who uncovered the IranContra scandal in December, 1985, nearly a year before former President Reagan admitted it to the American public. Van Atta agreed not to report his findings to protect the hostages in Iran. When it was published, the story netted him his seventh Pulitzer Prize nomination for investigative reporting. In a speech at the Auraria campus on September 18, Van Atta captivated approximately 145 people with a riveting account of volatile events he has covered in Washington, Iran and Colombia. President

September 22, 1989

Bush's war on drugs did not escape comment Van Atta, 38, who was in Beirut in May, told the Auraria audience that the Middle East remains a "harsh and retaliatory region - even the celebrations kill people." He said that guns are present at weddings there, like rice is here. According to Van Atta, the United States has never been close to knowing where the hostages are except perhaps on the night Anglican Church envoy Terry Waite disappeared in January, 1987. It has been reported that Waite, in a la5tditch heroic effort, had a CIA-planted electronic bug in his hair. The CIA has said it was implanted in his stomach to avoid detection. "It is probable that he is no longer alive. When I was in Beirut I was told that Higgins had long been dead - tortured to death." Van Atta said. Regarding the hostage situation, Van Atta said, "If we cannot succeed in getting them out, I believe there's nothing we should do, especially paying attention to them [the kidnappers]. And that's where the media is partly at fault We give great rise to terrorism when we give them publicity. But the macho image of America is greatly involved here." Even with the death of the Ayatollah Khomeini and the installation of ~led moderate Hashemi Rafsanjani as Iran's new president, Van Atta said the cycle of violence will continue in the Middle East. "We don't know where Rafsanjani is ()')ming from; he's much more unpredictable and dangerous. He'll do anything to stay in

power." Van Atta said the hostages may be in more danger under Rafsanjani's rule. He said only two groups have succeeded in suppressing terrorism. The first, Russia, had four diplomats kidnapped by the Hezbollah, the Libyan group of radical Shiites. One Russian diplomat was killed. In response, the Russians kidnapped a Hezbollah chief and then proceeded to send him to his people - piece by piece, finger by finger. The other diplomats were released unharmed. Van Atta explained that Russia didn't care about the diplomats. "It was a matter of national pride for them. Russia is a country that has systematically dehumanized its own people." The other successful group started out with a small family in Medellin, Colombia The sister of one of the leading drug dealers was kidnapped by the M-19, a leftist guerrill,a group in Colombia. The dealer, Gorge Luis Ochoa, gathered 400 drug dealers together in November> 1981, imploring them to band together against the kidnappers. They organized a group of "hit" people. Called "Death to Kidnappers" [in Spanish1 it began with 200 kids, ranging from 14 to 18 years old. Van Atta said they were trained to shoot a machine gun from a moving motorcycle. These people, he said, continue to carry out assassinations for a mere $25 "The price of a human life in Colombia today." The sister was released-unharmed. Van Atta and co-<:olumnist Jack Anderson two weeks ago uncovered a plot to assassinate President Bush. They reported that

there are 10 men on a ranch in Chihuahua, Mexico, waiting for false papers to enter the United States. Van Atta said they already have a stockpile of weapons in Wheeling,

w.v.

Anderson and Van Atta also reported a plot by hit men from Colombia or Venezuela to kill Bush's daughter in Kennebunkport, Maine, a few weeks ago. Since the new war on drugs in Colombi11i most of the drug cartel leaders have left the country, Van Atta said Some have fled to Venezuela and Panama City. But, Van Atta estimated, "since that meeting in 1981, these people have corrupted at least six South and Central American countries." When asked how long these drug barons will be a threat to the president and his family, Van Atta replied, "As long as it's painful for them. And right now it's real serious and painful." In a later interview, Van Atta gave his views on how effective he thinks Bush's war on drugs will be. "He does not have the ability to motivate people," Van Atta said. "If this is a war, tax it and see how much support there is for it, or take it from the defense budget." Van Atta, a graduate of Brigham Young University, shares a byline with veteran Jack Anderson on the daily column "Washington Go Round" He is the youngest and most widely syndicated (fifty million daily readers) news columnist in the world He resides in West Virginia with his wife and three children. o

Clubs strut stuff at Student Union Brian A. Gallager The Metropolitan

A warm sunny day with clear skies and a cool breeze made Auraria's Club Day at the Student Union, a good place to look, learn, and "land" Thanks to Nate Clyncke and Damon Sealock from the aviation fraternity, students were able to land, because Clyncke, vice president, and Sealock, an active member, etched "runway 12" with chalk on the concrete, leading students to their table. Metro's aviation fraternity, Alpha Eta Rho, does more than just draw runways, they feed people, too. "The day before Easter we get donations of food from local supermarkets and fly them [the donations] to smaller cities that need it,·" said Kristy Deline, secretary for the club. ''Some people in the club fly some of the planes, and the Civil Air Patrol does the

rest," Lance Garretson, safety officer said. More than 20 clubs were avidly lecruiting members on campus Thursday Sept 14. · Last year Club Day was held inside the Student Union's main entrance. Many ofthe groups preferred the hallway to the outof-doors. Digging a little deeper at this informative gathering turns up Wanda Carlile and Rebekah Young of ALPACA, the Archaeology Linguistics Physical And Cultural Anthropology Club. This is the second year for ALPACA at Auraria. Carlile was instrumental in the formation of the club as last year's vice president and one of the founders. Young is the current president. "Our goal is to spread the news of anthropology on campus," YoUllg said The club may be making its own news soon, however, when it goes on an expedition to St Mary's Glacier this weekend

direct lines of communication between the state legislature and MSC Student Government. The legislative liaison will maintain contact with legislative aides, research legislative issues, attend meetings and report all relevant findings to MSC Student Government. "This position is vital ... so that we may better serve the students," said Sen. Michael

Green, the bill's sponsor. According to the bill, the position is the first of its kind among Colorado's higher education institutions. To quell brewing dissent over the issue, Martin stressed that it would not be a lobbyist position and lent her support for the bill. In a letter to the MSC Senate, Student Trustee Terry Thomas urged the Senators to pass the bill. "This ... position will enable ASMSC to react quickly and effectively on behalf of its constituents, while at the same time promoting activism within the vast student population," Thomas' letter said. In other business, four new senators were appointed to fill the spots of two who had resigned and two who were no longer enrolled at MSC. "I want to build awareness of Student Government on campus," said appointee Christina Firouztash when asked about her goals. Appointee Shannon Habgood, a CoPIRG activist, said she would be willing to abstain from any vote that involves a conflict of interest between Student Government and CoPIRG. Gregory Kennedy and Jeremy Stuhl won the remaining appointments. o

Mimes perform the Word Jodie Skinner Photo Editor

Painted faces and silent movements spread the word of Christianity to curious onlookers on the Auraria campus Monday afternoon. EPPIC [each person personally in Christ] is a Minneapolis-based group that shares the news of Christ through mime. Currently on a four-week tour of the southwest states, EPPIC visited the campus through the invitation of Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, a campus club. "We invited EPPIC as a sensitive way to bring Christ to the campus." said John Olsen, staff adviser for the club. The troupe, made up of oollege graduates and students taking a break from school, finds mime to be an enjoyable way of spreading the message of Christ The five who came to Auraria joined EPPIC as a way to minister their Christian beliefs.

A newcomer to this troupe is Matt Hafley, who joined in August, 1989. Seeing the mime show in his hometown of Minneapolis convinced him there was exci~ ment in what they were doing. "It is the visual aspect that brings it alive," Hafley said. "I joined out of need." After obtaining an application, Hafley did not join until he saw members ofEPPIC in a bookstore a month later. "They mentioned they needed one more member to put together a new troupe and oonvinced me to join," Hafley said. Another newoomer. who joined in August, Andrea Wilson, was attending oollege at Cal State Northridge when she came acr~ the~ the EPPIC posters. Being an art major, Wilson found the posters to be impr~ve, so she attended a performance. "I liked how EPPIC worked," she said. ''They were not pushing the gospel." Wilson spoke with members aboutjoining, but did not apply until six months later. "Three weeks after I was accepted, we went on the road," she said. Tam Penner found EPPIC to be an appealing way to minister. "It is a non-threatening way to evangelize," she said. The veterans of this touring troupe are Tom Downs and Ver.gene Kruse who both have found EPPIC to be a less offensive way to spread their beliefs. Downs has been with EPPIC for four years and said he believes a calling from God brought him to EPPIC. "We are a faith mission," Downs said, "so we work on a volunteer basis." Kruse has been with EPPIC for two years. Her brother asked her to attend a performance, and she was so impressed with the way the people inter~ that she decided

to join. "I was in my second year of college and undecided on a major. So I quit and began working full time," Kruse said. The group spends 50 percent of the time on the road, she said, but only three to four weeks at one time. She plans to go back to school part time. The three missions [goals] EPPIC has are for the mimes to grow closer to the Lord, encourage and minister to Christians and to reach out to nonbelievers. They present their

message in mime, combining a tape of Old and New Testament stories with contemporary music. People usually watch because it is entertaining, Kruse said. No one is forced into any situation during an EPPIC performance. The crowd is allowed to make their own decisions. "I have had people come up after a show and say, 'I don't believe in what you are saying, but I like the way you say it,' " Kruse said. 0

LETTERS

Ghost letter challenged Stranger Than Fiction By Chad Morris In response to the rather lavish centerfold, I mean centerspread, "The Advocate" gave themselves in their most recent issue, I think that, in the interest of equal time, someone at The Metropolitan should take an opportunity to acquaint stuqents with our staff. I'm afraid they didn't give me much room, but you see the , rest of the paper is taken up with news, features, sports, letters to the editor and photos of people and things other than ourselves. I know it's tough, especially without any exciting "candid" shots of people for you to recognize on campus. Of oourse, there is my picture for you to gaze upon. Well, anyway, here they are, the staff of The Metropolitan. Contrary to popular oonception, Editor-in-Chief Dave Plank is not, in fact, a racist pig. However, the phrase "overbearing, tin-plated dictator with delusions of godhood" is often used by the staff after an editorial meeting. Dave's not entirely sure he wants to go into journalism as a career, but he cajoled his way into the editor's position this year and is actually taking journalism classes just to make sure. Let's all give Dave a pat on the back for being such a swell guy, eh? That bright young man with the fatally moussed hair riding a mountain bike down the hall is none other than Rick Scibelli, or Chiabellie, depending on which campus publication you read, our perpetually str~-to-the-max news editor. Rick spent five years working on a geology degree before he discovered the wonders of journalism. He now intends to make the field his life-long profession. Way to go Rick! No, that woman threatening to quit isn't really serious, that's our Features Editor, C.D. Turner. She can't quit because she's the only person on the staff who can crank out eight or nine feature assignments a week, and it's rumored that her oonnection has a direct line to the Medellin cartel in ~ota.,

Forsaking a career .as a legal proofreader, Copy Editor Gayle Neyman has jumped into journalism with both feet. I asked Gayle about her motivation for joining this year's Met, and all she oould say was: "It was getting to work with those nutty, kooky, off-the-wall oolumnists." Good reply, Gayle~ We've beoome accustomed to Sports Editor Knute Nelson's strange oomings and goings; no one can ever seem to find the man in the ever-present Minnesota Twins cap and UCLA sweatshirt. Opting against a lucrative career as a sports doctor, Knute has returned to his native Colorado and is thinking of pursuing a degree in, that's right, journalism. Don't worry, Astro the Wonderdog doesn't bite, he's just tagging along with Photo Editor Jodie Skinner to see how the exciting field of photojournalism really works. When Jodie isn't out taking dramatic pictures of the Tivoli or North Classroom, she's working on her journalism degree and teaching Astro to maim reporters for the opposition. Unfortunately, Astro hasn't had any practice, since no one's actually seen a reporter for the opp6sition. The final member of our editorial staff is Cartoonist . Shannon Morris. The similarity of our last names is merest ooincidence. Ifpr~ I will admit only that he is my friend, but I will deny even und~r torture that he is, in fact, my brother. Right now, Shannon is taking political science and history oourses, but is oontemplating a switch to, yep, journalism. Oh, well, there is me, but about all I can say about myself is that sometimes I'm the assistant news editor, sometimes I'm a columnist, but most of the time ·rm looking for the perfect Bloody Mary. Well, there we are, the editorial staffof The Metropolitan, that "learning environment like a classroom with a bands-on twist." Here we're learning about being journalists with the o intention of actually beooming journalists ourselves.

Editor, I read the letter in the Sept. 15 issue of the Metropolitan entitled "Black Student defends Kleg." Being a Black student, I have reason to question the legitimacy of this letter. I'm interested in getting several views to the issues of racism on our campus. I decided to try and find the alleged Paul Scotten, MSC student. I approached several MSC students, none of whom knew of this alleged individual. In furthering my investigation, I discovered that there is no record of a black student named Paul Scotten. In being an open-minded individual, I decided that there was the possibility that I may have missed something. So I openly invite the alleged Paul Scotten to meet me for a face to face meeting, to discuss not only his defense of Mr. Kleg, but also the allegations made against Ms. Lisa Calderon. I also invite Mr. Kleg, Ms. Calderon and anyone else interested to witness the appearance of the infamous Paul Scotten. A mes-

sage may be left for me at ext. 3322. I am not familiar with Mr. Kleg, but in reading the articles about his statement, I became outraged. If such an individual is capable of making such a statement, then he is also capable of creating such a character [Paul Sc<;_>tten) to try to shift the attention away from his own cowardly remarks, to an individual who is trying to set positive examples for her people, as Ms. Calderon is. As a black student, I find it hard to believe that a fellow black student could idly accept and to try to justify the statement and explanation made by Mr. Kleg. If the alleged Mr. Paul Scotten does not miraculously materialize, an investigation should ensue to reveal the actual author of that letter, and if Mr. Kleg, or any student close to Mr. Kleg is found to have been involved in writing false letters, then disciplinary action should be taken, even removal from office.

Brewer clarifies statement Editor, I feel compelled to write The Metropolitan to clear up an inaccurate reporting of my remarks during the Metropolitan State College convocation on Tuesday, September 5, 1989. The Metropolitan reported that "Brewer questioned a student's ability to work 40 hours a week and still obtain a passing grade." As those individuals who attended the convocation will agree, I stated that the average student working a fu// 40-hourweek and taking a fu// 15-credit hour course load should not be able to pass all classes. Last year, during the 1988 Fall Convocation I made the same statement. I continue to stand behind that statement because of my concern that students receive the highest quality education. Metropolitan State College is committed to providing the highest quality education to its students. Unlike

more traditional institutions with more traditional students, MSC will always seek to make students of all backgrounds feel comfortable at the college. However, there can be no compromise on quality in the students' best interest. Quality education does not equate with "elitism." Students.graduating from MSC and moving on to graduate school, professional schoo~. or the job market must be able to compete successfully with graduates of other, more traditional institutions. If Metropolitan State College compromises on its education and on what it expects of students, the students upon graduation will truly be cheated. I appreciate the opportunity to clarify my views. Of • course, I welcome comment.

'Incredible drink specials?' Editor, Many young people like to hang out in singles bars, and those establishments like any other private enterprise, can and will advertise. What gets my dander up is the irresponsible advertising that took up half of page 8 in last week's Metropolitan. The ad grabs the reader with this gem: "WANTED The MOST awesome group of college students to guzzle down some incredible drink specials."

Incredible? What's incredible about guzzling beer, getting drunk and driving under the influence of those incredible drink specials? Do newspapers have a responsibility to their readers to at least not use GUZZLE, and yes, I object to • DROWN NIGHT on page 15. I guess the bar behind the page eight ad has gone·, under, but what about next time?

Pearson's legacy: clarity Editor: I really miss Greg Pearson. Besides being an inspiring teacher and a dynamic colleague, he was a wonderful role model for anyone involved in the politics of academia [i.e., all of us). He never hedged an answer, never pretended to hold a position he didn't believe in and never expressed himself. in the effete and insipid bureacratese that has come tci characterize academia. He let you know exactly where he stood and, in the process, invited you to do likewise. I'd like to propose what I consider a fitting tribute to Greg. I'd like to propose that as a college, we officially adopt the "Pearson Rule of Clarity." Here's how it would work: whenever we are in a meeting andl

someone lapses into bureaucratic jargon or begins talking out of both sides of his mouth, we have the right - nay the duty - to stand up and formally invoke the "Pearson Rule of Clarity." At this point, all further discussion must cease until the speaker translates his or her utterances into clear, easily understood English. Only then can the meeting proceed. Adoption of the "Pearson Rule of Clarity" will keep Greg's spirit aliv.e at Metro and enable us to keep our sense of direction through the increasingly dense bureaucratic fog which seems to surround this instituition. We owe itto ourselves, to our esteemed trustees and to our beloved state legislators._

Racism demands new solutions •

Once again in the pages of The Metropolitan are charges of racism, and once again there are defensive and pitiful attempts to defend racism through a carefully structured manipulation of words. Racial barriers exist on the Auraria campus, with minority enrollment low and an atmosphere which makes minority students and faculty feel uncomfortable while they are on the campus. Incidents such as the one with Joel Kleg are not 1unique, th~y are regular occurrences at Metro State College, as well as at other colleges and universities nationally. Unfortunately, white students can make ' racially offensive statements and believe that it's all right, because they don't understand what it's like to be at the receiving end. They don't understand what it has been like for African Americans in the United States who've suffered a history of brutal oppression; a people who were brought here in chains, tortured and murdered. African Americans have fought and died for basic human and civil rights - including the right to vote - which was only gained as recently as twenty-five years ago. Chicanos are treated as foreigners in the very land their ancestors lived in for centuries before there was a United States of America. Since the ..-- annexation of northern Mexico by the United States Chicano people's lives have been miserable with denials of basic human and civil rights, similar to African Americans. Native American people have been here since the beginning of time, they once freely used this land for whatever purpose they choose, but now they .... have been forced to live in apartheid-style reservations,

with lives of poverty and oppression. Many white people say " This is 1989, that was long ago and I had nothing to do with that." But, what many white people fail to realize is that Chicanos, African Americans, Native Americans and other minorities are still suffering the consequences of their historical oppression. There are countless studies and strong evidence which indicates that minorities lag behind white people in democratic rights, economic development, educational development and social status. As their populations continue to grow, their destinies will become increasingly limited to the lower stratum laborers of America and doomed to deprive~ . crimeridden ghettos. White people in the United States have a history of resistance to change, even during the civil rights movement of the 1960s where politicians made decisions granting civil rights due to mounting pressures. But there was a lot of resentment and opposition from the majority of white America. This resistance can be seen today through white people who try to charge that minorities are gaining too much [even though this defies all logic] and now white males are victims of racism. The objective reality of America is that minorities hold no significant political or economic power,. the power is still tightly held by white males. . White people who fail to recognize this and fai l to take honest and sincere steps toward change are only perpetuating this apartheid system in America. Ignorance and refusal to address these problems only pe'rpetuate them. Last semester [Spring, 1989) another'

student made racially offensive statements. Some students were angered by this and filed a 9omplaint with Metro's Affirmative Action office, only to be told that the student was within his First Amendment rights. Furthermore, this student received an award from the Vice President of Student Affairs office in the midst of the controversy. The institutions that run this society and this college have not adequately dealt with this problem. New solutions are needed. In a recent presentation to Metro administrators and faculty, English Professor Ernest Champion, from Bowling Green State University, stressed the importance of teaching multi-cultural studies at Metro. He pointed out that changing de!l'lographics mean that we must learn about all cultures and people. Along with this he stressed the need to increase minority student enrollment and retention. This institution can play an important and critical role in breaking down racial barriers. As far as Joel Kleg is concerned, he should resign as a student senator. If he refuses it would be a slap in the face to African· American students and other minority students, and degr'ade the stature of the ASMSC Student Government. Unfortunately, we're seeing the weaknesses in a system that defends perpetrators, but not its victims.

Prof realizes dreams with return to Yangtze

Road To Auraria

Imagine that you go back to the town in which you were raised. You and your sister visit your old school and see your old house. You journey up the same river you traveled with your mother. The streets don't look like main street; the river isn't the Mississipp~ and the town isn't Anywhere, USA. The town is Shanghai and the river is the Yangtze. Dr. Lois Dilatush, profeswr of sociology at MSC, took such a trip in the summer of 1986.

Dilatush and her sister made th.is visit to China 46 year.; after they were forced to leave the country at the onset of World War ll. "We re-did a trip we had done in the summer of 1937 with our mother while the war was starting. We were going up the Yangtze River to Chunking. At the time, it was a pretty dangerous trip,'' Dilatush said. She and her sister spent the next IO days finding houses where they had lived and the school they had attended. "It was during that summer [of 1986) that I decided I was going to do my darnedest to get a teaching ~ignment in China," she recalled. Her wish soon came true. She was invited by the sociology department of the People's University of China .in Beijing to teach during the fall semester of 1988 as a visiting scholar. The People's University is considered the top university in China by the Communist Party and was a longtime training ground of party officials. Only in the last few year.; has it became a general-purpose university. Dilatush taught sociology graduate students. And through her classes, she became very well acquainted with the concerns of her students. Dilatush believes a major factor in the ulents' protests at Tiananmen S9uar_e was an economic issue. "University-educated people who went into government jobs or into research were getting absolutely abysmal pay, whereas people who were operating in these new free markets were able to earn l 0 times as much," she said. "Educated intellectuals and graduate students were living four to a room

and getting less than l 00 yuan (approximately A: $38 U.S.) per month." Dilatush has concerns that the students' .protests have done much to hinder attempts to open the system. · "I think what has happened is that whole window of free expression of opinion has closM back down. "I, along with everyone else, didn't think there would be violence. The whole world was watching them, and they pushed further and further against the control of the Party," she said. Having become close to her students in China, Dilatush was worried for their safety after news of violence. After several weeks, she learned that they were all safe. But the events have caused her other concerns. "I think some of my students were really idealists and I think really wanted to serve their country, but I wonder what th.is kind of m~cre did to that idealism. I see the brightest and the best wanting to leave their country, and I hate to see that" Dilatush cites the housing problems as an obstacle young Chinese must face. She remembered one of her students that got married last spring. Most housing is handled by an individual's work unit, she explained. But this young couple is still liviag in seperate apartments until a couple-housing unit becomes available at one of their work units. · This may seem intolerable to Americans, she said, but Party control is more significant than Americans can imagine. "Every work unit has not only its managers and officials, but also a parallel structure overseen by a Party official. Even universities have the same structure. Dilatush has heard that the Party ·had asked university faculty to report to campus one month early for a training session. She believes that this was a reaction to the students' demonstrations. . As a result of this tighter lid that has been put on university education, the country has cut back on social sciences. Visiting scholars have now been almost totally limited to English professors. One would think that this might put a bit of a damper on Dilatush's hopes of returning to teach in China. But she smiled and said, ''Maybe I can go and teach English there." 0

Grant gives instructor ... a renewed philosophy Kurt Ochsner The Metropolitan

Tim Gould is a man who should be at ease in an academic setting. -• But as the 41-year-old philosophy teacher looks down at the jumble of papers and books cluttering his desk, an unsettled look crosses his face. "Why don't we step out in the sun?" He offers. "It seems a little too professorial in here." He steps outside and greets some of his students, "I'm being interviewed!" he shouts at them. Strolling toward the 9th Street Park, he flashes his quick smile and shouts more greetings to people he recognizes. Finally, he settles down on a bench, stretches his legs and comments on how nice the surroundings are. He has good reason to be happy. An MSC professor for the last four years of his 15-year teaching career, Gould has been awarded a fellowship from the National Endowment ,. for the Humanities. With help from MSC's Prof~ional Development Fund, he will have a year to further his studies in freedom, originality and creativity. . Gould is a wellspring of ideas. "Freedom is so important an idea that once people get it into their heads, they don't fight against it," "" he will say, or "True philosophical originality and creativity are in the arts, not in philosophy." When discussing capitalism, there will be a long pause as he carefully forms a sentence in his mind Then, in his loud classroom ... voice, he will say something like, "Free enterprise is a slogan."

Tim Gould. MSC phllnophy tncmr. He has written essays for numerous periodicals and anthologies. One that stands out in his mind is a piece on Immanuel Kant and William Wordsworth titled "The Audience of Originality." "That was the germ of the work I got the ~ NEH for," he says. That award is the result of a lot of hard work and rejected proposals. Since he finished graduate school at Harvard, where "we were all going around intimidating each other," he has been waiting for the right panel of scholars to come along and find him worthy of a grant That finally happened, and he will spend next year lecturing, reading, writing and doing whatever else strikes his fancy. Gould loves teaching at MSC. "I really haven't enjoyed teaching · this "'. much," he says. "I find the students to be really menschlich." Menschlich is a Yiddish word very roughly translated to mean buman.

"The spirit ofMetro is the spirit of people who've decided to come back and do ... something with their lives," he continues. He

CoPIQG

agrees that MSC has a good mixture of students, but adds, "We need to do something about minority recruitment. Racially, the mix isn't up to Denver's mix." Gould speaks strongly in favor of equality for all men and women. This is in keeping with his views on freedom, which he calls "a very scary idea." Adding "The very idea of freedom can be used as an agent to suppr~ freedom." He doesn't consider America to be completely free. "We would rather think of ourselves as defenders of freedom around the world than look at our own situation," he says, adding that freedom in America often depends on race. He also distinguishes between inner and outer freedom, or freedom of the mind as oppooed to physical freedom. "Freedom ofthe mind remains constant," he says. It is man's constant change in ideologies that creates a change in degrees of freedom. Gould is critical of the free enterprise system. "Free enterprise is free for the people who own it," he says. "The very strength of capitalism is bound up in exactly the fact that people are not free not to compete." Because competition is forced, he explains, it sometimes denies freedom, especially to those who can't compete. Capitalism has created the greatest forces of production in history, he says, but it "disguises our advance over feudalism" by concentrating on economic fre.edom. Gould lists the ancient Greek philosopher Plato among his influences, and that influence shows when he discusses his belief in questioning. "You become faithful to a core of questioning," he says, "but the way you question changes." Another of Gold's influences is Martin Heidegger. "Questioning is piety ofthinking," he says, quoting the late German philosopher. The key to questioning, he concludes, is listening. Listening to Gould is not difficult. He speaks easily and forthrightly. His words are sometimes cryptic, but he always explains them further for the listener. His manner fluctuates between contemplation and enthusiasm, but his mind never seems to rest. That style will be on display at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 22 in Room 1605 of the North Classroom, where he will give a lecture. He's had a good year. He got the NEH grant. He was asked to write articles on Emerson and Thoreau for the "Encyclopedia of Ethics," and he received a plaque from some grateful studen_ts. "That [the plaque] was a pretty precious honor." For Gould, learning is just as important as teaching. ''Teaching is letting learn," he says, again quoting Heidegger. He places a strong emphasis on a kind of student participation he calls "interchange." But he often sees lower-level courses with too many students for effective interchange. "We don't have enough small discussion sections at this school." But the students, the teaching and the learning are still here, and Tim Gould should thrive because of that To Gould, the teacher has done his job when the student can say of him, "He changed my gold for silver co~"

"Demographic trends are showing that minorities are becoming more of a significant percentage of the population. U they're not involved as contributing members, we're going to have a lot of problems," Miera said. "The U.S. will not be able to thrive as a powerful nation unless it can bring more of its citizens into the economic structure. And an obvious way to do that is through education_" Miera said one thing that will affect MSC's minority recruitment and retention

policies is monetary penaliz.ation by the Colorado Commission of Higher Education. He said such penalizations will be happening in five to l O years. A· "It's incumbent upon the colleges to start getting their stuff together," he said. One program MSC is using to get its "stuff together" is the Summer Higher Visions Program. The program is in its second year. Fifty • minority eighth graders attend for eight weeks of enrichment and motivational activities at Auraria campus during the summer. This past summer Miera worked on the program. He said the program's goal is to build the self-esteem of these students and to help them learn good study habits and time management. It's designed to direct the .students toward college at an early age. "It's a cheerleading program," Miera said. "It's designed to help these students get turned on to college." He also said it provides the students with important information abOut clas.5es they need to take to prepare for college. ' Miera said he's sold on the idea of working with kids. "If you want to recruit and retain minority " college students, you have to get them at an early age. You've got to expand the pool," he said. o

Carla Bishop, a 28-year-old MSC sophomore said she felt "totally unprepared for Metro." She, too, attended East High School. Miera said one problem affecting minority retention is a lack of minority faculty and staff. "The more Chicano and black faculty and staff you have on campus, the more that students who come on campus are going to be able to relate to them," said Miera. "And they can establish mentor/ pupil relationships that help students succeed." Miera said bringing minorities into the mainstream by helping them to succeed in college and by other means is not just being done to be socially just, but also because it is necessary.

' •

to discuss particular investigations, Lehmann acknowledges that the CBI has been involved in many major cases. One of~ concerned the disappearance of a young Greeley woman. After a sixmonth investigation, police had few clues. It was not until a seemingly unrelated crime

took place in Fort Collins that police were able to determine the fate of the Greeley woman. New clues emerged when a Fort Collins bookkeeper was murdered after working late at her office. Through physical evidence - blood, hair and fibers - police were able

Richard Lehmann is a forensic scientist And what, you ask, is that? "A forensic scientist," Lehmann explained, "applies principles of science to matters of law." Forensic science uses science, partiCJJlarly chemistry and medicine, to solve crimes." Lehmann worked at the Colorado Bureau of Investigation for 15 years. As a trace ' examiner for more than seven of those years, Lehmann examined tiny fibers, hairs, specks of glass and paint - trace evidence - that were found at the scenes of crimes. His job was to link this physical evidence with both ~ a victim and a suspect. Through the years, Lehmann played a vital role in solving hundreds of criminal cases. "A forensic scientist is akin to a medical doctor," Lehmann said Their decisions, Lehmann said, often involve life and death matters. ,..

"The findings of a criminalist can mean a suspect could spend his life in prison." For almost nine years, Lehmann was the director of the CBI lab. Although reluctant

to link a suspect with the bookkeeper's murder and eventually to the disappearance and death of the Greeley woman. The suspect was later convicted of both murders. Despite his long tenure with the CBI, Lehman said he was ready for a different challenge and in August joined the MSC faculty. "In the agency, the main goal is to do cases; there's not enough time to grow," Lehmann said. "Now I'm able to grow and learn through the pr~ of teaching." Several times a week future police officers, paralegals, criminalists !Uld arson and explosions investigators gather in one of the two labs where Lehmann teaches. Sophisticated equipment and heavy-duty microscopes rest on formica countertops, ready to provide students with lessons and clues. Much of the professor's time is spent preparing lab experiments for his students. "I try to do experiments that we have the equipment for and that are representative ... meaningful," Lehmann said. Because Metro is a college rather than a university, chemistry teachers are not involved in a great deal of research.

Prof MSC's 'Indiana' Performing autopsies on thousand-yearold mummies is just part of the job for MSC anthropology Professor Jonathan Kent. Kent is preparing for an expedition in January and hoping to take some undergraduate students with him. He plans to do research on a collection of mummies that has been found at an excavation site near the southwest coast of Peru. Metro has applied for a $268,000 grant from the Research in Undergraduate Institutions Program sponsored by the National Science Foundation. If awarded the grant, Kent will be able to do further research on this rare find. Kent has been working in the area of the Acari Valley, along with other members of the California Institute of Peruvian Studies since 1986. The mummies were excavated from the adjacent Yauca Valley. Kent said that since the area around the Yauca Valley is a dry coastal desert, the preservation of tissues and textiles is nearly perfect ''The preservation [of the mummies] is virtually perfect to the point where we have flesh and hair still on these mummies," Kent said. "It's really neat, if you like that kind of thing," he added with a smile. The 60 mummies were wrapped in textiles that are still in good condition. The mummies were found buried in a series of closely spaced together pits lined with stones or puddled mud, Kent said "Others were lined with very nicely cut stones, depending on the individual and how important [they were]; we think this is what determines that," he said. Kent said that 30 bodies were found in one pit that measured about 6~ feet by 6~ feet. "One of the things that we're looking for in our autopsy material were there any differences in diet among the individuals that might be related to status differences," Kent said. "We know in many societies that the well-to-do eat better than the poor folk. We're also looking at the accompanying grave goods to see if there are any differences in terms of the fineness of the items included in each person's burial." The autopsies performed on the mummies will include X-rays, CAT scans, and an analysis of tissue samples, stomach contents and feces. Kent's team also will do analysis on the bones to determine the ratios of carbon and nitrogen as a reflection of the diet the people had. "It's a complete autopsy of these [mummies], and it's really the first time that such a large collection from a single cemetery bas been analyud with such meticulo~ detail." Kent is the principal investigator of the project, which is scheduled to last three years. Under the auspices of .CIPS, Kent's team will be working in conjunction with San Jose University, North Carolina State, Iowa State University, and the Catholic University of Arequipa in Peru. "If we get the grant, I will certainly be going in January because that's when our grant starts," Kent said. "Even if I don't get the grant, because rve been working there for the past three years collecting information, I need to go and spend some time in the laboratory doing analysis, so that I can write up the results for publication." Kent plans on spending a month and a

half working in the laboratory, then spending some time helping with a course that CIPS is _.. offering in Peru on textile analysis. "We have textile experts from Peru and from the Peabody Museum at Harvard serving as instructors," Kent said. Kent also has just received a Fulbright grant to conduct research and teach in , . Ecuador from April to June of next year. He will be working with Ecuadorian students exclusively, teaching courses in the analysis of bones from archeological sites. Kent will be teaching the course in Spanish. In the fall of 1990, Kent will return to teach at Metro. He also will continue his local research into the history of Denver. "Our anthropology program bas a very heavy urban emphasis, and the other hat that I wear, if you will, in terms of research is doing historical archeology in Denver." Kent said there is not enough known about the immigrant laborers and ethnic minorities in Denver's history. Kent's research focuses on looking into the early immigrants that came to Denver whose lives are not well documented. "What you have in the historical record is .. a very strong bias towards the certain wellknown white male members of society," he said Kent has spent time conducting excavations along Wazee Street near the Auraria Parkway, behind Emmanuel Gallery on campus. Behind the Gallery, Kent's team discovered the remains of the first German Presbyterian Church in Denver and the schoolhouse which was associated with the early Episcopal congregation. The Episcopaliams were followed by a Jewish immigrant . congregation that was established in the • Emmanuel Gallery. The remains of a Sunday school is referred to by Kent as the Parish House.

"Basically, we were able to document a sequence of events that mirrored, very interestingly, the sequence of immigration in Denver," Kent said. "The sequence of remains we found in the ground basically were , left by immigrants in the order that they migrated into Denver. It was kind of neat." Kent is looking for the details of everyday life in Denver's history. He said that archeologists and historians need to work more closely together. "Because archeology can contribute a lot to history and history, of course, can contribute a lot to archeology,.. Kent said Kent has written several articles and seven monographs. "I like doing research. I feel it really improves my teaching, for one thing, because ..... not only can I bring the material back and · say, 'Look, this is real stuff, and I can tell you more about it than just what you can read about.' But I think it also forces me, as an o individual, to keep current"

"It was really exciting for us to come in and beat them at home, in a packed gym with wall-to-wall people, it's a real boost," Tamblin said. Other teams that the women trounced were the University of Alaska at Fairbanks and Lewis College. Other good news for the team, setter Sue Gillette, who was hurt in the Fort Hays tournament two weeks ago, was able to play in the Anchorage tournament. Gillette hurt

her knee and was out for last week's game against the University of Northern Colorado. Gillette was named MVP of the Anchorage tournament and made all-conference. Other players named all-conference were: junior Becky Kofoed, junior Nancy Kogle and junior Chris Hines. The team is currently leading the Continental Divide Conference 4-0.

Women's soccer proving unbeatable Scott Moore The Metropolitan

The writing is on the wall for the sixthranked MSC women's soccer team. With two more wins last week the women notched the highest ranking ever of any Metro athletic team. And they did it in the same convincing fashion as in their previous games. Saturday, the University ofNothem Colorado provided MSC its toughest test of the year, but a hard-fought 1-0 victory kept the machine rolling. Once again, senior Jami Cobb worked her magic for the 6-0 Roadrunners. After a scoreless first half, Cobb stole the ball from a UNC defender in the opponent's end and delivered a long shot that just beat the goalie. With five goals and zero assists to her credit, Cobb is the leading scorer for Metro. ' "She has really stepped to the front and taken the reins for this team," Coach Ed Montojo remarked. "This was a hard, physical and typical UNC match. It was a great team effort. I knew it would be tight because the rivalry is getting so strong." The victory over the 14th-ranked Bears catapulted Metro into Tuesday's exhibition game with the Air Force Academy. As it turns out though, the Roadrunners didn't need it. For the second time this season, the opponent didn't record a single shot on goal. "It was a very physical match," Montojo said. "And the overall play was stronger than I expected, but we just had too many

"When schoolboy friends meet once again, who have not met for years, say, over what will they sit down, and talk of their careers, your 'wishy washy' wines won't do, and fiery spirits ran, for nothing blends lhe heart of friends like good old English ale." J. Coxton circa 1880

guns to play with." Again, it was a chance for a lot of reserves to notch some playing time. Sophomore Amber Jenkins caught the Falcon's defense off guard and recorded her first goal of the year early on. While the defender was in the midst of kicking the ball back to the goalie, Jenkins sneaked in from the side and surprised the keeper by getting to the ball first. Her tap in started an outburst. . From about 30 yards out, senior Lora Powers tallied, and the rout was on. Montojo used two freshman in goal - Laura Bakes and Lisa Baskall - during the 4-0 win. The starter [Michelle Carroll) was rested so Montojo could get some playing time for the young goalies. "I'm so glad for the girls; they've worked so hard to get where they're at. The team has been working on this ranking for four years, so it's well worth the wait," Montojo said. "It hasn't gone to our heads and the girls are ready to meet the challenge." That will come soon enough. MSC now hits the road for six straight games. Three of those will be against Division l opponents, including third-ranked Colorado College. Montojo said there will be a little more emphasis on dealing with pressure in practice, something the team hasn't had to do yet. "I knew we would be good. The defense has been a pleasant surprise; they are really cohesive. And the playing personality of the team has been great," he claimed. The Roadrunners are outshooting its opponents by a phenomenal 104 to 16 count D and have outscored them 21 to 1.
